Elephant Arch, Natural arch in Red Cliffs National Conservation Area, Washington, US.
The sandstone formation rises 7 feet high at an elevation of 3,294 feet, displaying a clear silhouette of an elephant's trunk and eye among red rocks.
The United States Bureau of Land Management field office in St. George established hiking guidelines to help visitors access this geological formation in Mill Creek.
The natural arch stands as a testament to the geological processes that shaped the landscapes of Utah through millions of years of erosion.
Visitors reach the arch through a 2.5-mile trail from Mill Creek trailhead, crossing Bone Wash and climbing 70 feet on a single-track path.
The natural arch measures less than 12 inches at its narrowest point, requiring careful preservation to maintain its delicate structure for future generations.
