There’s something thrilling and slightly unsettling about a massive rock with a hole in its middle or a ribbon of stone flung like a spider’s thread from one rock face to another. And there’s nothing quite like a view of blue sky or snow-capped mountains framed by stone. So many stony holes of so many shapes and sizes abound here that people spend years hunting unrecorded arches, quarreling over measurements and categories, and dreaming up original names.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Part of the National Park Readers series, \u003ci\u003eThe Arches Reader\u003c\/i\u003e is an anthology of writing about Arches National Park and the surrounding area.
