Mysterious rock forms such as stone arches, arch bridges, stone pillars and mushroom-shaped pillars exist all over the world. Arches national park is located in the eastern part of Utah, USA, covering an area of 765 19 acres (309.7 square kilometers), with about 850,000 tourists every year. Geologists generally believe that these forms are formed by the erosion of wind and water and the climatic influence of salt and frost.
