Arches National Park is located just outside of the small town of Moab, Utah and it may be the closest you get to Mars without leaving planet Earth. The park is filled with these gorgeous and almost eary sandstone arches and rock formations.
This entire region of Utah is beyond beautiful, but once you get inside the park the landscape is truly awe-inspiring.

Arches National Park wikipedia entry
Arches National Park is a U.S. National Park in eastern Utah. It is known for preserving over 2000 natural sandstone arches, including the world-famous Delicate Arch, in addition to a variety of unique geological resources and formations.
The park is located near Moab, Utah, and is in size. Its highest elevation is 5,653 feet (1,723 m) at Elephant Butte, and its lowest elevation is 4,085 feet (1,245 m) at the visitor center. Since 1970, forty-three arches have toppled because of erosion. The park receives 10 inches (250Â mm) of rain a year on average.
