Not really. They are formed from sandstone which isn't a very strong rock.

So did I.

I suppose this scenic site could have benefited from a well fitting arch support.

Interesting to think that the arches are formed by the exact same forces that eventually cause them to collapse. The eventual outcome of an arch is a collapsed arch.

Is this depressing? Or just realistic?
