Moonshine Arch, Natural arch in Uintah County, Utah.
Moonshine Arch is a natural sandstone formation in Uintah County, Utah, with a substantial span and considerable height. The structure displays typical features of arches carved by water and wind through the Weber sandstone.
The formation developed through geological processes spanning millions of years as water and weather eroded the sandstone layers. This slow erosion gradually shaped the distinctive arch structure visible today.
The surrounding land holds traces of indigenous peoples who inhabited the region before European settlement, marking centuries of human presence.
The trail starts from the marked parking area and crosses terrain with noticeable elevation changes. Sturdy footwear is important since the ground can be rocky and uneven.
Inside the formation sits a spacious cavity that can produce striking sound effects under certain conditions. The upper section is narrow enough that experienced visitors can traverse the top, though care is required.
