Hidden Walkway[edit]

When walking along the trail leading to the arch, the arch will appear to disappear when it blends in with the rock walls and slopes behind it. Walking along the trail a little farther will make it "reappear". This may have been where Steven Spielberg got the idea for the "invisible" walkway scene near the end of the third Indiana Jones movie, since the opening scenes of the movie were filmed at Arches National Monument.

Picture of the day

Landscape Arch is the longest of the many natural rock arches located in the Arches National Park in the U.S. state of Utah. The arch is among many in the area known as Devil's Garden in the north area of the park. It was named by Frank Beckwith, leader of the Arches National Monument Scientific Expedition, who explored the area in the winter of 1933–34.Photo: Cacophony

Longest Arch[edit]

From the natural arches page we see that this is no longer the longest arch in the world, I have made an edit to reflect this new information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TravDraper (talk • contribs) 17:04, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

With a length of 290.1 feet (88.4 m), it is the longest natural arch in the park and the United States, and the fifth-longest in the world.
