Towers of the Virgin, Sandstone monoliths in Zion National Park, United States.
The Towers of the Virgin comprise several high sandstone peaks on the western side of Zion Canyon, including the Sundial, Witch Head, and Meridian Tower.
The formation received multiple names through time, including Rock Rovers' Land and Tu-Mu-Ur-Ru-Gwait'Si-Gaip Tu-Weap, before becoming part of Zion National Monument.
The geological formations stand as natural monuments within Zion National Park, drawing photographers who document the changing colors during sunrise and sunset.
The location experiences cold semi-arid climate with less than 250 millimeters of annual rainfall, making spring and fall the most suitable seasons for visits.
The collection includes eight distinct peaks reaching 2,240 meters in elevation, each displaying different layers of sandstone shaped by millions of years of erosion.
