Situated in a national park, this interesting geologic feature made cameo appearances in two Hollywood movies produced within the last 25 years. Can you name this oft-photographed attraction, the national park in which it is located, and at least one of the movies in which it appeared?
We’ll give you a clue. In one of the movies, a fictional superhero makes an incredible leap from the top.

That would be Double Arch which appeared in the Indian Jones Movie and is located in Arches N.P.
Pretty good, Janet, but you didn't quite nail it. Let's see if somebody can get all three elements of the question answered in a way that leaves me no room to quibble.
Lets go with:
Double Arch
Arches NP
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Name this oft-photographed attraction
Double Arch
The national park in which it is located
Arches National Park
At least one of the movies in which it appeared
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Bob got in under the wire with the first wholly correct answer on this one, but we'll give Janet credit for an "almost" and Robert credit for "honoring Bob's point." This is indeed a photo of Double Arch in Arches National Park. This fascinating landscape feature made an appearance in the classic 1989 movie "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" (one of many Indiana Jones movies, Janet). Now then, let's keep this thing going a while longer. Can anybody name another movie in which Double Arch also appeared? And can anybody name another arch in Arches National Park that has appeared in a Hollywood film?
At first I though it was Big Bend National Park in Texas but it seems it is Arches National Park in Utah
The Incredible Hulk
Vinn: That would be a yes on the place (which has already been identified), but a "no" on the movie.
