Moonshine Arch, Natural arch in Uintah County, Utah.
The sandstone formation spans 85 feet in length and reaches 40 feet in height, standing against the backdrop of Red Mountain in Utah.
The geological processes of erosion and weathering have carved this natural arch from Weber sandstone over millions of years in the Utah landscape.
The surrounding land holds traces of indigenous peoples who inhabited the region before European settlement, marking centuries of human presence.
Visitors need to follow metal directional signs from the parking area, walking 1.8 miles round trip with a 200-foot elevation gain.
The arch features a large grotto that creates distinct acoustic effects, while the narrow top section allows careful walking opportunities.
