If you have never taken a geology class in high school or college, roaming in the south of Utah will force you to appreciate geology at its best. The forces of nature on our planet have provided us with the most grandiose views. The geological landscape in this part of the country is undeniably magnificent. Hiking in the midst of all this makes one feel very small and insignificant. The splendor of the columns, the spires, the canyons, the arches are almost too much to comprehend. We had to buy a geology book in order to learn what forces came into play in providing the upheavals of nature displaying these magnificent formations.
