Utah’s Magnificence”

“But, after Sonca turned toward Salina, the scenery for the remainder of the drive across Utah became spectacular. Stilla spotted a wide, low, gray rock that resembled a UFO. There were perfectly round apertures in its side, which might have been windows or even eyes. Massive dun-toned walls of rock climbed straight up from the side of the highway. Erosion had carved the upper stage of one wall into what looked like dozens of Indian religious figures: goddesses adorned in saris, rishis draped in dhotis, and gods holding tridents and spears. Set off by itself in the near distance rose a monolithic structure shaped like an immense meteor. Further down the highway, they observed a series of palatial structures in pinkish-gray stone. Nature had sculpted these buildings in various dimensions, with smooth sides and quadrate shapes. Together they formed what looked to be a fine town for some hidden stony residents. Yet further ahead, on their right, rising at a forty-five-degree angle, were the rocky walls and battlements of a gigantic fort. It appeared as if these well-designed and constructed fortifications had once been level, but had been, through some massive terrestrial upheaval, tilted downward so sharply that their bottommost section sat close to the ground.” (from “Palace of Perfect Wisdom”)
