More information

Cove Arch in Arches National Park, Utah, is a gracefully curved sandstone formation tucked within a natural alcove. Formed by the relentless forces of wind and water erosion on Entrada sandstone, the arch’s rich red and orange layers reveal the desert’s geological history. Smaller and less frequented than other arches in the park, Cove Arch offers a quiet, scenic viewpoint where visitors can appreciate the beauty of erosion-carved rock against the rugged desert landscape. This hidden gem is a testament to the slow but powerful natural forces shaping the southwestern U.S.
