| Reverse description | The reverse depicts Delicate Arch, the iconic 65-foot freestanding natural sandstone arch situated in Arches National Park, rendered in fine relief against a background showing the La Sal Mountains in the distance. The arch stands prominently in the central field, symbolizing the park's most celebrated natural landmark, known from Utah's license plates, postage stamps, and as a passage for the 2002 Winter Olympics torch relay. The state name UTAH and the park name ARCHES are inscribed prominently, along with the national motto E PLURIBUS UNUM, the date 2014, and the designer initials DW and CLV. |

| Additional information |
The Arches quarter is part of the America the Beautiful program, authorized by Congress in 2008 to run through 2021 — five designs per year, each honoring a national park or federal site, one per state in the order of the site's designation. Utah's slot went to Arches National Park, established as a national monument by Herbert Hoover in 1929 and upgraded to full park status in 1971. The silver proof version, struck at Philadelphia, was issued exclusively for collector sets and never saw circulation.
