Ngitshele kafushane ngomlando wokudalwa kwe-Aches National Park
Context:Abantu bebelokhu behlala kule ndawo kusukela esikhathini sokugcina seqhwa eminyakeni engu-10.000 edlule. Abantu baseFremont nabasePuebloans basendulo babehlala kule ndawo kwaze kwaba cishe eminyakeni engu-700 edlule. Izithunywa zevangeli zaseSpain zahlangana nezizwe zama-Ute namaPaiute kule ndawo lapho zifika okokuqala ngo-1775, kodwa amaMelika aseYurophu okuqala azama ukuhlala kule ndawo kwakuyiMormon Elk Mountain Mission ngo-1855, eyashiya le ndawo ngokushesha. Abafuyi, abalimi, nabafuna igolide kamuva bahlala eMoab esigodini esingumakhelwane saseRiverine ngasekupheleni kwawo-1870. Izindaba zobuhle bamadwala azungezile zasakazekela ngaphandle kwaleli dolobha njengendawo okungenzeka izivakashi ziye kuyo.  Indawo yase-Arches yaqala ukulethwa ku-National Park Service nguFrank A. Wadleigh, umphathi wezimoto zabagibeli beDenver neRio Grande Western Railroad. UWadleigh, ephelezelwa umthwebuli wezithombe wesitimela uGeorge L. Beam, wavakashela le ndawo ngo-September 1923 ngesimemo sika-Alexander Ringhoffer, umhloli wamalahle owazalelwa eHungary owayehlala eSalt Valley. URinghoffer wayebhalele lo mkhakha wesitimela ukuze awuthakazelise ngamathuba ezokuvakasha endaweni enhle ayeyithole ngonyaka odlule namadodana akhe amabili nomkhwenyana wakhe, ayibiza ngokuthi iDevils Garden (eyaziwa namuhla ngokuthi iKlondike Bluffs). UWadleigh wahlatshwa umxhwele yilokho uRinghoffer amkhombisa kona, futhi wasikisela kumqondisi wePark Service uStephen T. Mather ukuthi le ndawo yenziwe isikhumbuzo sikazwelonke.  Ngonyaka olandelayo, uLaurence Gould, umfundi waseNyuvesi yaseMichigan owayesephothulile (futhi kamuva waba umhloli wamazwe asezindaweni ezibandayo) owayetadisha i-geology yezintaba eziseduze zaseLa Sal, waboniswa indawo enhle ngudokotela wendawo uDkt. "Doc" Williams. Ngiyabona.  Abaphenyi abaningi bakahulumeni bahlola le ndawo, ngokwengxenye ngenxa yokudideka mayelana nendawo eqondile. Kule nqubo, igama elithi Devils Garden ladluliselwa endaweni eseceleni kweSalt Valley ehlanganisa i-Landscape Arch, i-arch ende kunazo zonke epaki. Ukutholwa kukaRinghoffer kwasekuqaleni akuzange kubhalwe, kuyilapho enye indawo eseduze, eyaziwa endaweni ngokuthi amaWindi, yafakwa. Ukuqokwa kwendawo njengesikhumbuzo sikazwelonke kwasekelwa yiPark Service ngo-1926 kodwa kwaphikiswa uNobhala Wezangaphakathi kaMongameli uCalvin Coolidge, uHubert Work. Ekugcineni, ngo-April 1929, ngemva nje kokugcotshwa kwakhe, uMongameli uHerbert Hoover wasayina isimemezelo sikamongameli sokwakha iArches National Monument, ehlanganisa izingxenye ezimbili ezincane, ezingaxhunyiwe. Injongo yalokhu kugcinwa ngaphansi koMthetho Wezinto Zakudala ka-1906 kwakuwukuvikela ama-arch, imibhoshongo, amatshe alinganisiwe, nezinye izakhiwo ze-sandstone ngenxa yenani lazo lesayensi nezemfundo. Igama elithi Ama-Arches lasikiselwa nguFrank Pinkely, umphathi wezindawo ze-Southwestern National Monuments ze-Park Service, ngemva kokuvakashela esigabeni se-Windows ngo-1925.  Ngasekupheleni kuka-1938, uMongameli uFranklin D. Roosevelt wasayina isimemezelo esasandisa i-Arches ukuze kuvikelwe ezinye izinto ezinhle futhi kuvunyelwe ukuthuthukiswa kwezakhiwo zokukhuthaza ezokuvakasha. UMongameli uDwight Eisenhower wenza ushintsho oluncane ngo-1960 ukuze kulungiswe umgwaqo omusha.  Ekuqaleni kuka-1969, ngaphambi nje kokuba ashiye isikhundla sakhe, uMongameli uLyndon B. Johnson wasayina isimemezelo esasandisa kakhulu ama-Arches. Eminyakeni emibili kamuva, uMongameli uRichard Nixon wasayina umthetho owamiswa yiCongress, owanciphisa kakhulu indawo ephelele, kodwa washintsha isimo sayo. I-Arches National Park yanikezelwa ngokusemthethweni ngo-May 1972.  Ngo-1980, ama-vandal azama ukusebenzisa umuthi wokuhlanza ekhishini oncibilikisayo ukuze onakalise imidwebo yasendulo epaki, okwenza izikhulu zepaki zaqasha isazi sesayensi uJohn F. Asmus, owayekhethekile ekusebenziseni ama-laser ukubuyisela imisebenzi yobuciko, ukuba asebenzise ubuchwepheshe bakhe ukulungisa umonakalo. U - Asmus "wahlaba iphaneli ngokukhanya okunamandla futhi wakwazi ukususa ingxenye enkulu yesihlanzisi". Ngo-2016, kwaba nomunye umcimbi wokucekela phansi i-Frame Arch epaki, lapho ingxenye yetshe yaklanywa khona. Ngenxa yentuthuko kwezobuchwepheshe, ngo-2018 i-arch yalungiswa ngokusebenzisa umbala ofanayo nezindlela zesimanje zokugcwalisa.
Abantu bokuqala bavela kulesi sifunda phakathi nenkathi yokugcina yeqhwa eminyakeni engu-10 000 edlule. Izakhamuzi zokuqala zaqala ngo - 1775 kodwa zashiywa ngaphambi kuka - 1855 lapho abafuyi, abalimi, nabafuna igolide bezinza eMowabi ((idolobha eliseduze kakhulu ne-Arches). Ukunakwa kokuqala kulezi zakhiwo ezinhle zamadwala kwaqala ngo-1923 nguFrank A. Wadleigh. I-Devils Garden (eyaziwa ngokuthi i-Klondike Bluffs namuhla) yathola igama layo kumhloli wamalahle waseSalt Valley u-Alexander Ringhoffer, i-Devils Garden yathuthelwa endaweni eseceleni kweSalt Valley. I-Landscape Arch iyona ende kunazo zonke epaki futhi ingeyesihlanu ende kunazo zonke emhlabeni! Ngo-1929, uMongameli uHerbert Hoover wasayina isimemezelo somongameli esakha i-Arches National Monument ukuze kuvikelwe ama-arches, imibhoshongo, amadwala alinganiselayo, nezinye izakhiwo zamatshe esihlabathi ngenxa yenani lazo lesayensi nezemfundo. Igama elithi Arches lasikiselwa nguFrank Pinkely, ngo-1925. Kusukela ngo-1938 omengameli abaningi base-United States of America basayina izimemezelo eziningi zokuphikisa izici ezinhle nezimvume zokwakhiwa kwemigwaqo ukuze kudonswe izivakashi kule ndawo kodwa ngo-1972 kuphela lapho i-Arches National Park yasungulwa ngokusemthethweni. Ngo-1980, ama-vandal azama ukubhubhisa imidwebo yasendulo epaki, eyabuyiselwa ngusosayensi uJohn F. Asmus esebenzisa ubuchwepheshe be-laser ukuze ibuyiselwe. Ngo-2016, kwenzeka esinye isehlakalo sokucekela phansi eFrames Arch ingxenye yamadwala yaqanjwa, kodwa ngenxa yobuchwepheshe, yabuyiselwa.
