Iconic balanced rock in Utah
Category

Sightseeing

Message from Adriana Neptuna

Balanced Rock is a popular rock formation in Arches National Park, Utah. It's a massive rock balanced on top of a pedestal, standing at 128 feet tall and weighing around 3,577 tons. You can easily spot it from the main road in the park. There's a paved trail that takes you right up to its base for a closer look. Keep an eye out for its smaller sibling, "Chip Off the Old Block," which unfortunately collapsed in the 1970s. Oh, and fun fact: Balanced Rock made a cameo in the opening scene of the movie "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade."
