Kolob Arch, Natural arch in Washington County, Utah, US.
Kolob Arch extends 287 feet across a wooded grotto within Zion National Park, reaching a height of 120 feet above the surrounding terrain.
The geological formation developed over millions of years through continuous processes of erosion and weathering in the sandstone layers of Southern Utah.
The name derives from Mormon religious texts, specifically the Book of Abraham, which mentions Kolob as a celestial body near the throne of God.
Visitors reach the arch through the La Verkin Creek Trail, a 22.7-kilometer path with 430 meters of elevation gain, requiring advanced hiking skills.
The structure stands at 6,083 feet above sea level near Gregory Butte, maintaining its position among the largest natural arches in North America.
