I wished I would have visted this park before now. It is one of the few parks DH and DD have not seen.

I know several forum members have been to this park. I thought this was interesting news
Kelly from MN. I remember when you were planning your out west trip several years ago. I am glad you and your children got to see the park before this happened.

It is on my list of places to visit. I think that going here has just became more of a priority. Thanks for posting the article.
I remember going there as a kid. sad that it's gone
Wow......glad I saw it to bad for others they'll never know except through pictures and that's not the same.....Sad news
Thanks for posting this article. Arches is a wonderful park and Devils Garden is a great hike.
It is sad to see a natural wonder disappear. We saw that arch a few years back.
Funny, but it is still sad to visit the site of the Old Man of the Mountains in New Hampshire and realize that it is only a pile of rubble at the bottom of a mountain now. Going to see the Old Man was a family tradition every year.

Me too, Mary. Hard to believe, but that trip was 5 years ago already! Some of the younger ones don't remember much ... but I sure do!
My brother and sister in law just got back from there. I wonder if they backed into it on there way out! ;)

I grew up in MA and it was always such a treat as a kid to see the "Old Man".
They said that eventually all the arches will fall. It's just a fact of nature. I'm hoping next year to make the trip to Arches.
It was on our wish list of places to visit. What a shame...
