Nature
Turret Arch is a free-standing natural arch in the Windows area of Arches National Park in Utah, amid a prominent cluster of rock openings that includes North and South Window arches and nearby Double Arch. It formed as erosion wore through sandstone fins of Jurassic-age Entrada Sandstone, removing weaker rock and leaving both the arch opening and the isolated rock mass that gives it its distinctive shape. Its larger opening is about 35 feet across and 65 feet high, making it the smallest of the three arches in its immediate group. It is accessible from trail loops that connect it with the neighboring arches.
