The Goblet of Venus
The
GOBLET OF VENUS was a popular natural feature and tourist attraction
until its demise in the 1950s. It was just off the old road from
Blanding to Natural Bridges, via the Bears Ears and was mentioned
prominently in the 1940 WPA guidebook. In fact, I was able to find the
remains by using their directions.
How
the Goblet fell is unclear, though there have been persistent rumors
that teenagers from Blanding felled the magnificent stone pillar with a
jeep and a tire chain. But no one has ever been held personally
responsible for the vandalism.
Today, there are no signs to mark its location. All that remains is a pile of broken sandstone shards.
