Help power the National Parks Traveler’s coverage of national parks and protected areas.
Mystery photo by Luca Galuzzi via Wikipedia.
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.
National Parks Traveler is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit.
Here’s the definitive guide to National Park System campgrounds where RVers can park their rigs.
Our app is packed with RVing- specific details on more than 250 campgrounds in more than 70 national parks.
You’ll also find stories about RVing in the parks, tips helpful if you’ve just recently become an RVer, and useful planning suggestions.

Thelma & Louise, Courthouse Towers
Nope -- not Thelma & Louise, Courthouse Towers.
I do not know the answer to the movie question, but I was at Double Arch two weeks ago. Amazing and beautiful place. Utah does a magnificent job with all of their parks. Great roads, and tremendous facilites that are clean. Plenty of good and knowledgable park rangers to help also. Thanks!
Against A Crooked Sky filmed near The Windows
I've never seen Double Arch myself, Gerry, but photos like this one have got me convinced it's a "must see." Kurt's promised to take me to Arches (and some other Utah parks) if I get out that way, so it's in my plans. Here in the South you'd say I'm "fixing to" visit Arches and see Double Arch.
I'll give you an "A," GregS, but only for effort. Double Arch did not appear in the 1975 western Against a Crooked Sky.
Bob, you really should go to Arches NP again sometimes. The Double Arch is only a few hundred yards from the Windows.
