Arches National Park




Sender: Maegsirien
Courthouse Towers, Arches National Park, Utah, USA

Text on card: The formations in the Courthouse Towers are remnants of a large mesa which was eroded away by a stream. As canyons were cut into the landscape, resistant masses of Entrada Sandstone were isolated. These sandstone monoliths gradually eroded into fantastic and strangely carved shapes. The Windows Section can be seen rising in the distance.

It's like an alien landscape! Okay, this place will go on my bucket list!
