Comb Ridge, Sandstone monocline in San Juan County, United States.

The linear north-south ridge extends for 80 miles through southeastern Utah and northeastern Arizona, reaching heights that dominate the surrounding landscape.

Mormon pioneers in 1880 encountered substantial difficulties navigating around the formation during their journey through the Hole-in-the-Rock route to Bluff.

Ancient Puebloan communities left numerous archaeological traces along the ridge, including cliff dwellings, petroglyphs, and the notable House on Fire Ruin.

Visitors need permits from the Bureau of Land Management for hiking activities, with day-use permits available at self-pay stations throughout the area.

This geological formation stands as the sole location in North America where scientists have discovered tritylodont fossils within its layers.

Location: Utah
