In 2009, the "Island Arch" collapsed. The rock formations you look at today are not "millions of years old" or exhibits of "timeless eternal looks", they have changed significantly since their initial exposure.

The rate of rock mass wasting observed is one of the many pieces of evidence that refutes the concept that the earth could be "millions of years" old.
Arches National Park in Utah also exhibits rapid rock mass wasting. In 2008 the famed "Wall Arch" collapsed. The famed "Landscape Arch" will collapse at any moment, with some progressive collapses already observed. Since 1970, 43 of the park's arches have collapsed, providing evidence of relatively rapid changes to rock geomorphology.
