Good thing this arch in Arches didn’t fall with hikers beneath

Hikers including me, that is. Arches National Park’s famous Wall Arch is no more, having had the center span fall out sometime during the start of this month.

The arch, 12th largest in the park, fell when nobody was around, as it was not immediately noticed.

The collapse did force the closure of the Devil’s Garden Trail in the park in the area around the arch.
