Paul Bunyan's Woodpile, Geological formation in Juab County, United States
Located near Jericho, this rock formation displays columns measuring one foot in diameter and extending up to fifteen feet in length.
The volcanic structure emerged thirty million years ago when magma cooled into columnar joints along the rim of an ancient caldera.
The Bureau of Land Management maintains this site, allowing visitors to explore the geological formations through established hiking trails.
The round trip trail spans 1.6 miles and requires one to two hours to complete, with spring and fall offering optimal hiking conditions.
The horizontal orientation of the rock columns differs from typical vertical patterns, resulting from specific underground cooling processes.
