Turret Arch

Turret Arch is a natural free standing arch in the Windows area of Arches National Park, Utah, United States.

Background
Turret Arch, along with Double Arch, form part of a series of arches in the Windows region of the park. The larger opening has a span of 35 feet and a height of 65 feet, and is the smallest of the three arches in the region. Turret Arch can be reached via The Windows trail, which is approximately a 1.2-mile loop with moderate terrain.

Geology
The arch formed as the result of erosion through weak parts of sandstone fins composed of Jurassic-age Entrada Sandstone.

Access
The arch can be accessed via a one mile trail through the North and South Window Arch and Turret Arch Loop. The trail also gives access to The North and South Window Arches.
