The Three Gossips is a mid-sized sandstone tower located in the Courthouse Towers area of Arches National Park near Moab, Utah. The formation measures 350 feet at its tallest.[1]
The Three Gossips consist of Entrada Sandstone, formed between 180 and 140 million years ago [2] The pillars were named for the shape of the rock which resembles three heads talking amongst themselves.
The formation can be seen from Courthouse Towers viewpoint and can be accessed through a short hike down into a large wash towards the west side of the pillars.[3]
