To see a geologic map and description of the park geology see:

Doelling, Hellmut H., 1985, Geologic Map of Arches and Vicinity, Grand County, Utah: Utah Geological Survey Map 74, scale 1:50,000. http://www.ugs.state.ut.us/maps/geomap/parkmaps/pdf/M-74.pdf

This website is an image tour of Arches National Park. All pictures were taken in early June 2003.
The 3D images are anaglyphs. They are large (~800 KB each) and may be slow to load, and require red and cyan 3-D viewing glasses.

	A search on the World Wide Web will yield many sites about anaglyphs and where to get 3-D glasses.
