Fig. 1Delicate Arch at sundown

Landform

Entrada sandstone fins weathered into more than two thousand natural arches over a salt-tectonic landscape.

Field note

Delicate Arch stands on a slickrock bowl with the La Sal Mountains behind it. The park sits above a collapsing salt bed that fractured the sandstone into fins.
