The Arches National Park Coin is the third quarter of 2014 and the 23rd overall in the America the Beautiful Quarters® Program.
The reverse (tails) side depicts Delicate Arch, a 65–foot freestanding natural arch. It is a widely recognizable landmark in Utah and the most famous arch found in the park. It has been depicted on postage stamps and license plates. The Olympic torch relay for the 2002 Winter Olympics passed through this arch. The La Sal Mountains are visible in the background. Inscriptions are “ARCHES,” “UTAH,” “2014“ and “E PLURIBUS UNUM.”
Utah’s Arches National Park is a red–rock wonderland. Visitors will discover a landscape of contrasting colors, landforms and textures unlike any other in the world. Arches National Park has more than 2,000 natural stone arches, as well as hundreds of soaring pinnacles, massive fins and giant balanced rocks. It was first established as a national site on April 12, 1929 (46 Stat. 2988).
