One of the more interesting facts about Arches National Park in Utah is that it has over 2,000 arches and has the densest concentration of natural stone arches in the world.
The park’s website states that “this red-rock wonderland will amaze you with its formations,” and there is one particular formation that certainly is amazing, or at least beautiful to behold.
It’s called the Kissing Turtles Arch and it was highlighted on Facebook in a sort of “Where’s Waldo” moment, though it wasn’t difficult to find.
Arches National Park stated:
Can you spot the arch?
Look towards the center of the picture, and you will see Kissing Turtles Arch!
With over 2,000 arches, Arches National Park has the densest concentration of natural stone arches in the world.
But not every hole in the rock you see is an arch!
To be officially considered an arch, there must be a light opening of at least three feet in one direction. Our arches range in size, with our largest being Landscape Arch at 306 feet (93.3 meters).
Pay close attention as our landscape is constantly changing. A hole in the rock you saw yesterday could have eroded further to become an arch today!
The commenters on Facebook were duly impressed, if not challenged. Some of their comments:
“Saw it right off, but then again, I’ve been there.”
“Adorable.”
“Beautiful.”
“Found it.”
“Nature’s rocks are just beautiful.”
“I have been there; it was 110° but still amazingly beautiful.”
