I discovered Colossal, Impossible Geometry with Desert Drifter (in Wyoming)
An incredible coincidence resulted in Desert Drifter and I standing atop a mysterious and gargantuan cube of stone together, in the middle of a remote forest. This thing had many secrets, but one stands out above all else. And was only discovered, by accident. We did our best to figure it out, and in the process, may have uncovered something far stranger than we ever could have imagined. Had I not seen it with my own two eyes, I might not have believed it was real. Impossible Geometry 2. More to come.
“The Falling Block” is a 75 feet high block. The name derives from its appearance that makes it seem out of place, like fallen from above. It is an allegedly natural formation that looks perfectly squared and artificially leveled at the top.
It’s located in the Eastern part of the Bighorn, in the plateau northwest of the Dihedrals Wall. Unfortunately, there are really few info about this rock except for climber guides and websites, as this is a great spot for them to climb. The descent to this site is described being very steep and “undeniably nasty”. It is therefore a place scarcely visited by people.
This could obviously be a natural formation, but then the marks throughout just one side of the stone would be a really strange coincidence. But even for those who maintain the natural hypothesis this is a weird structure for two reasons: it is the only stone block in a very wide area, and it really looks like it was artificially shaped. It is perfectly squared and leveled at the top, and it has the same marks of many other megalithic man made structures in the world. The rock is actually very smooth, giving a tough time even to the experienced climbers.
Interestingly enough, Wyoming hosts other megalithic sites such as the “Medicine Wheel”, a stone circle similar to Stonehenge, as well as a megalithic settlement unlikely built by Native Americans, which had a different, non megalithic style of construction as displayed in their old settlements.
Oct 27, 2016 —This is actually two hikes combined into one. I couldn't justify separating them since they're both so short and so close together. Giant City Nature Trail is about a mile, and the Devil's Standtable is about a quarter mile, whose trailhead is located about a half mile to the north of Giant City Nature Trail.
I've been on a roll with finding mossy sandstone bluffs in the central states. This being my last hike for now in the area, I figured I'd take it easy and just enjoy meandering through mini trails within Giant City State Park. The trails are wide and well-maintained, and great for a nature stroll.
