Resembling a sea of shapes carved out of molten fire, the Arches National Park dominates the high desert of the Colorado Plateau. With numerous sandstone arches strewn across the landscape like unflinching soldiers of a fierce natural force, the park consists of the highest density of natural arches, with the highest recorded elevation at 5,653 feet (1,723 meters) peaking at Elephant Butte. The misshapen bluffs of the Arches National Park are the result of an evaporite layer or salt bed that lies underneath the park's surface. The park's arches and spires have been birthed by the subsurface movement of salt and consistent erosion. Of the staggering number of windswept arches in the area, the famous Delicate Arch is perhaps the most evocative. Along the expanse of this amber wonderland, an eternal interplay of light and shadow persists as sunlight pierces the sandstone fins that mark the terrain.
You may call it a huge cave but the Christensen family called it home. This 5000 sq ft cave-home comprises of fourteen marvellous rooms and other attractions. Including a zoo of exotic animals, an artwork exhibition by Lyle Nichols and a gift shop, this unique home is a fantastic work of art. Impossible to miss, this humongous structure, modeled right inside the Utah canyons, is located along Highway 191. Built over a period of a century, this historic home is open to public all year long and is an absolute must visit.
Nestled in the Arches National Park in Utah, Fiery Furnace Viewpoint is an interesting place to visit. The Fiery Furnace features a complex set of passages that takes you through this area. Visit this area around sunset to watch the rocks look like they are burning. Due to its complex pathways, it is best to go on a guided tour of this area. Experienced hikers who want to explore this area by themselves must get a self-guided exploration permit.
