Nature
Three Gossips is a prominent sandstone formation in the Courthouse Towers area of Arches National Park in eastern Utah, known for clustered pillars that resemble three heads in conversation. Formed from Entrada Sandstone deposited roughly 180 to 140 million years ago, it rises about 4,700 feet above sea level, with the tower standing about 350 feet tall and projecting sharply above the surrounding terrain. Easily seen from the main park road and nearby viewpoint, it is both a scenic landmark and part of the area's drainage toward the Colorado River. Its silhouette gained wider notice through the 1989 film Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and it also has a noted climbing history beginning in 1970.
