Description
"Elephant Butte"
Arches National Park, Utah, USA
Captured under sunset light as "golden hour" began at Arches National Park. This panoramic view of Elephant Butte is in the Windows section of Arches National Park near Moab, Utah. La Sal Mountains, Cove Arch, and Turret Arch are visible in the background (right). The clouds formed perfectly to frame this natural feature!
Arches National Park is "located just outside of Moab, Utah, and is 76,679 acres (31,031 ha) in area. Its highest elevation is 5,653 feet (1,723 m) at Elephant Butte, and its lowest elevation is 4,085 feet (1,245 m) at the visitor center. Forty-three arches have collapsed due to erosion since 1970. The park receives 10 inches (250 mm) of rain a year on average. Administered by the National Park Service, the area was originally created as a National Monument on April 12, 1929. It was re-designated as a National Park on November 12, 1971" [source: Wikipedia].
