Balanced Rock, Moab, UT
Balanced Rock is a well-known natural attraction located in Moab, Utah. It is an impressive sandstone formation that stands at 128 feet tall, and it is one of the most photographed attractions in the area. It was reportedly discovered by cowboys in the late 1800s and has since become a popular spot for visitors to explore.
The geographical makeup of Balanced Rock is one of its defining features. Its entire structure was formed through wind erosion, giving it an almost impossible balancing act as two large slabs of rock appear to be perfectly balanced on top of each other. The larger slab weighs over 3,000 tons and appears to balance precariously atop a much smaller boulder standing about 15 feet high.
The surrounding landscape adds to the mystique of Balanced Rock. It stands alone among a vast desert landscape, creating an incredible juxtaposition between nature and human presence. The nearby Colorado river also provides stunning views of the red rock formations in the area.
In addition to its natural beauty, Balanced Rock offers plenty of recreational activities for visitors. Hiking trails weave around its base and offer spectacular views of Moab's canyons and mesas from various vantage points. Visitors can also explore the exposed petroglyphs that have been carved into nearby boulders by Native American tribes who once lived in this area centuries ago.
Birdwatchers will also appreciate Balanced Rock's location – it attracts many rare species such as golden eagles, peregrine falcons, western kingbirds, common poorwills and several kinds of owls including great horned owls and elf owls. Bird watchers from all over travel to Moab just for the chance to catch a glimpse of these remarkable creatures soaring through the sky above Balanced Rock!
