The overflow of the Valserine river has formed a myriad of potholes on a large strech of slab in the area. Some of these potholes have a perforated partition creating small natural arches and bridges (1 to 3 meters).



















There is also numerous mini arches less that 3 feet (90cm) in various stage of formation like the one below located close to the cataract.
