Description
Phoebe’s Arch is a natural gateway to Glen Park, located near Palmer Lake. This ridge of red sandstone, called Elephant Rock has been worn away by erosion from wind, water, and frost. The red sandstone found in Phoebe's Arch is the same type of sandstone that earned Colorado its name, stemming from “colored red” in Spanish, after Spaniards saw the beautiful coloration of the rocks along the Colorado River.
