A geological feature called the ‘Double Arch’ in southern Utah has collapsed

The “Double Arch,” a popular natural landmark in Utah’s Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, collapsed last week, according to the National Park Service (NPS). The arch, also known by names like the “Toilet Bowl” and “Hole in the Roof,” was formed from 190-million-year-old Navajo sandstone. The collapse is believed to be due to natural erosion caused by harsh weather, including wind and rain, as well as fluctuating water levels in Lake Powell. NPS officials emphasized the importance of protecting such geological features for future generations. No injuries were reported from the collapse. Similar arch formations can be found in other Utah parks, including Arches and Zion National Parks, and Bryce Canyon.
