3. Balanced Rock

You may experience a sense of vertigo when looking at Balanced Rock, which seems at once eternal and always on the verge of crashing down onto the rocks below. Formed over millions of years, Balanced Rock reaches 128 feet (39 meters) in height and was once concealed within the cliff of Dewey Bridge mudstone that still forms its pedestal. As some of the mudstone wore away, Balanced Rock emerged, becoming more precipitous over time. Visit this natural marvel, one of the few attractions within Arches National Park that you can see easily from the road.
