USA Arch Rock
Valley of Fire Arch Rock has formed over many millennia by strong winds and rain slowly washing away the materials holding its sand grains together. The rock weakened over time, allowing the natural arch that you see today to form. Eventually it will grow too large for its support and will collapse. No climbing on this beautiful fragile structure is allowed. Arch Rock is a must see and a great photo opportunity. There is also a 2-mile scenic loop that has views of some of the most interesting rock formations, including Arch Rock and Piano Rock.
