Fay Canyon Arch - Sedona, AZ (September, 2002)

 
Not only was it unstable it was fresh.  There is no telling how much longer that arch is going to be there.  The "debris field" below it was a mess.  Lots of loose rock and plenty of scars to prove that it was recent.

Many of the prickly pear cactus you see has been up rooted by slides.  Some of it, still green, shows that it had been ripped from its base very recently.

Click here to check out a scar in the ground that can only be described as an impact crater.  The photo doesn't really do it justice, but it was big and deep and it was situated about halfway up to the arch from the vantage point I've been referring too.
