THE PINNACLES
We almost missed the turnoff for this rare natural wonder. We arrived just prior to sunset which turned out for the better as I would imagine that it would be extremely warm in the middle of the day.
ANCIENT LIMESTONE
The pinnacles that we see today are the result of millions of years of evolution. Originally this landscape would have been a massive sand dune. Rains would fall upon the dunes to slowly permeate to the base of the dune. As the water passed, it would drag the heavier limestone deposits to the base to form these pillars. Over time the sands have shifted to reveal one of nature’s longest produced sculptures.
MATT IN PINNACLE LAND
There is a designated track to which you are to drive along. Apart from that you are free to roam around these ancient pillars or observe from the specially designed observation decks.
