The geography throughout the state of Utah varies from mountain forests and green valleys in the north to desert canyons and mesas in the south. Utah's seemingly endless landscape has some of the largest natural arches as well as the highest concentration of natural arches in the world.
The San Rafael Swell area of Utah not only is a haven for hikers and canyoneers but also includes a variety of natural arches and bridges to enjoy along the trail.
UtahArches.com reached a milestone in 2007 when the 500th arch was posted.
At 503 natural arches and bridges, UtahArches.com continues to have the largest, free access, collection of Utah's natural arches on the Internet.
"We need the tonic of wildness... At
the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things;
we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable... We can
never have enough of nature."
- Henry David Thoreau
