Spires and cliffs at Colorado National Monument, near Grand Junction, Colorado.

For reference, the spire in the foreground is about 450 feet tall (135 m) – the height of the London Eye. The tops of these formations rise about 2000 feet (600 m) above the floor of the Grand Valley, in the background in this photo.
