Tunnel + Pine Tree Arches

Tunnel Arch is one of many arches that can be accessed from the Devil's Garden trailhead in Arches National Park. It is only about a quarter of a mile from Pine Tree Arch, which makes it convenient to see these two Arches on the same trip. 



Tunnel Arch is actually a double arch comprised of a larger hole towards the center of the fin, and a smaller hole on the upper-left. The fin in which this arch was formed is relatively thick, which creates the illusion that it is more of a tunnel than an arch, hence the name.
