Synopsis

More than 400 arches sculpted by nature gracefully span a landscape of towering spires, sheer liffs, and balanced rocks.

Each book in The Story Behind the Scenery series tells a compelling story through the eyes of an experienced interpreter whose writing reflects true enthusiasm for the park. Complete with running text and interpretive captions, accompanied by abundant full-color photographs, these books will be welcome in any home library.

Arches National Park, located in southeastern Utah, first set aside in 1929, preserves extraordinary products of erosion: giant arches, windows, pinnacles, and pedestals.
