Landscape Arch

Landscape Arch is the longest of the many natural rock arches located in the Arches National Park in the U.S. state of Utah. The arch is among many in the area known as Devil's Garden in the north area of the park. It can be reached by short walk/hike along a maintained trail.

It was named by Frank Beckwith, leader of the Arches National Monument Scientific Expedition, who explored the area in the winter of 1933-1934. (The amusing story that the names of Delicate Arch and Landscape Arch were inadvertently exchanged due to a signage mixup by the Park Service unfortunately is not factual.)
