Arches National Park is located on the Colorado River 4 miles north of Moab, Utah. The Double Arch is an incredible formation of arches within the Windows area of the park, having the largest concentration of natural arches in the entire world. Double Arch takes its name because it consists of two arches that share the same stone as a foundation for both of their outer legs. Double Arch was formed by downward water erosion from atop the sandstone, rather than from side-to-side water erosion. Arches National Park is known for containing over 2,000 natural sandstone arches, in addition to a variety of unique geological resources and formations.
Alberta Falls in Rocky Mountain National Park was named by a relative of Bill Wiley…the sister of his grandfather, Claude L. Morrison (1874-1962). Alberta Morrison (1867-1949) married Abner E. Sprague (1850-1943) and they were some of the first settlers in the Moraine Valley area, which later became part of RMNP when it was designated a national park in 1915. The two were true pioneers, first living in a sod house in the mountains and later building and managing two tourist ranches, Sprague’s Lodge and Steads Ranch. Abner named Alberta Falls after his wife and later dammed a nearby creek to create Sprague Lake.
