The World's Most Beautiful Places
Sand Dune Arch – Arches National Park – Utah

Comb Ridge is an interesting geologic structure, known as a monocline, that exists in the southeast corner of Utah. It stretches for more than 30 miles from the Abajo Mountains in the north, to near Monument Valley in the south. It is known for the many Anasazi ruins that are found on its flanks and in the surrounding area.
