Series: America's most beautiful landscapes
The Nautilus of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, Utah
The Nautilus, or Nautilus Rock, is the semi-official name of a gorgeous formation of wind and water-eroded sandstone, at the edge of a small tributary ravine near the Paria River in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, Utah. It isn't only the Nautilus itself which is worth a 2 mile pathless hike but also the amazing natural beauty of the surroundings.
Photos were taken during my visit in May 2014.
Let's have a look inside…
…and from inside out
