They said horseback riders notified them about the damage Wednesday, and no one has reported seeing it fall. While it's unclear exactly why and when the arch collapsed, there's no evidence of vandalism, rangers added.

Sorry to see this happen, but nature does its thing from time to time. I spent alot of time in that area when young- beautiful part of the country.

I was sad when the "old man of the Mountains" in New Hampshire fell oll the side of the cliff. It was visible from the highway, and then one day, it was gone.
