Double Arch, Natural arch in Arches National Park, Utah, US.
Double Arch consists of two connected natural stone formations with the larger opening spanning 148 feet and reaching a height of 104 feet.
The sandstone that forms Double Arch dates back 190 million years to the late Triassic and early Jurassic periods, shaped by water erosion from above.
The opening sequence of the film Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade featured Double Arch, introducing this geological formation to audiences worldwide.
Visitors can reach Double Arch through a 0.5-mile round trip walk from the designated parking area, with wheelchair accessibility possible with assistance.
Unlike most arches in the park that form through side erosion, Double Arch developed as a pothole arch through water erosion from the top.
