The Resilient Beauty of Red Rock’s Oldest Secret: The Natural Rock Arches of Sedona, Arizona
Tucked away in the winding canyons of Sedona’s Redrock-Secret Mountain Wilderness Area lies a geological miracle that has stood the tests of time. The natural rock arch at Redrock-Secret Mountain Wilderness Area, nestled within these ancient red rock formations, is a tranquil oasis that embodies the rugged spirituality of Arizona’s Red Rock Landscapes.

Perches, as these rock formations were locally known, is an engineering marvel that defies gravity at an astonishing 45 feet tall x 60 feet wide, an astonishing measure of the region’s enduring geoidal forces. The area, as its name suggests, holds onto a deep and intricate secret of which few are privy– a testament to its mysterious formation. The arch stands at high noon, a time of utmost day, in the heart of Arizona’s hot and arid landscape (see image [1_1]).
Red sedimentary rock, over a geological span of 330 million years spanning from the Triassic to the Neogene, had weatherd under the relentless hammering in the course of time and finally culmened in the natural arch on this site, leaving us breathtaking views of the Colorado Plate (see image [2_]), and the surrounding hills (photographed in Fig [1_c]). The rocky surface features numerous layers, ranging in material composition from dolomite on the uppermost, down to shale that’s been partially cement into a limestone that can not be seen from below, leaving an unexplored part of this rock formation below. Furthermore, a layer of silt also has been laid out throughout this rock formation’s life since it was laid in millions of years ago.
Here are, then, the basic points at a glance:
- Age | The formation of the natural rock arch stands as a testament to a time-span not much less than a geological agespan of approximately 450 million years.
- Dimensions | Its shape, at 45 feet in either height and 60 feet in width are, in an area whose weathered stones show indications of being 10 to around 15 million years older, is really impressive.
- Eponym | The place of these types of rock formations as it, Redrock-Secret Mountain Wilderness Area.

It is easy to take Sedona’s natural wonders for these breathtaking views we enjoy.
Here, we must explore something we have forgotten.
Our thoughts are full of excitement when we see that, under these rock formations
[as shown in Fig (4), where numerous rock formations like that shown in Fig [3_(b)]
are to look out at the beauty
it has been around the age of a geological timespan ago, 450
It
is the time the time will have been gone when no longer there,
And of this, we all should now take a few seconds look.
In short, our work of love is to let these kinds of formations be
our beautiful home.
Now you look, and
Now my time is over here
is done.
