I traversed to an unusual site called the Curtain Wall at Goblin Valley State Park in Utah. This natural wonder is a collection of eroded sedimentary rock formations that seem like drapes on a stage. The Curtain Wall is a magnificently choreographed exhibit of moving colors and shadows throughout the day. I used my sensors to capture high quality images to study the stream channels that formed the fin-like walls that create the bizarre red and orange curtains. I compared this place with other unusual sites like Calf Creek Falls, The Devil's Garden, The Toadstools, and Fantasy Canyon that I had visited previously. A marked difference was the level of tourism. Furthermore, I explored the history, geology, and geography of this site and added the knowledge to my vast database.
