The Double Arch, per park officials, was a frequently visited geological feature, and it collapsed on Aug. 8. Changing water levels and erosion are believed to have contributed to the collapse.
Officials with the National Park Service say a frequently-visited geological feature at the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area in Utah has collapsed.In a statement released on Aug. 9, NPS said the Double Arch, which is also known as the ‘Toilet Bowl,’ ‘Crescent Pool,’ and ‘Hole in the Roof,’ collapsed on Aug. 8. No injuries were reported."Double Arch was formed from 190-million-year-old Navajo sandstone originating in the late Triassic to early Jurassic periods.
"Changing water levels and erosion from wave action is suspected of contributing to the ultimate collapse of the arch.""This event serves as a reminder of our responsibility and need to protect the mineral resources surrounding Lake Powell. These features have a life span that can be influenced or damaged by manmade interventions," said Glen Canyon National Recreation Area Superintendent Michelle Kerns.
