Stone Cold Beauty
These elegant, ethereal spires might be the most dramatic hoodoos on earth.
The unique Towers of Silence feature a stark-white Entrada sandstone base topped by a red Dakota sandstone 'cap.' They are particularly dramatic at dawn when they are brilliantly illuminated while the brooding cliff behind them is still darkly shrouded in shadows.
Also known by the less inspiring name of "Walweap Hoodoos", they are located along a dry wash in remote southern Utah.
You have to be willing to commit to a 10 mile (16 km) round-trip hike to earn the privilege of seeing them but I'll bet you will think the price was cheap once you are standing here.
Cheers!
