Sandstone Shapes
Fragile sandstone formations in Fantasy Canyon in the Uinta Basin about 30 miles SE of Vernal, Utah in the middle of the Basin Natural Gas Fields. The land is managed by the BLM and Fantasy Canyon is a bit tricky to find and get to. Definitely a 4wd opportunity. Take lots of water -- it is seriously hot in this remote little canyon. But the formations -- unique in the world, are well worth the trek. To find the place get a map at the BLM field office in Vernal.
Compare these fragile eclectic shaped formations with the more rounded smooth formations in Valley of Goblins. Both sandstone shaps were exposed by the same process. See goblins here: farm3.static.flickr.com/2334/1808935039_5d022a7265_b.jpg
