There are thousands of natural arches scattered around the Beehive State. In fact, in just Arches National Park alone, there are more than 2,000 documented natural arches. While some of these arches are fairly small, some are large — very large. Landscape Arch is one of the world’s longest natural arches and it is found right here in Utah. It is one natural arch that you’ll certainly want to see in person.
Landscape Arch is located in Arches National Park and is 306-feet long. It is considered one of the longest natural arches in the world.

However, despite its extraordinary length, this natural arch isn’t very thick. In fact, Landscape Arch is only 11-feet wide at its center.

If you wish to see this incredible natural arch in person, you do have a 1.9-mile out-and-back hike to tackle. You can spot this arch on the Devils Garden Trail in Arches National Park.
