Apparently a bit older than thousands of years according to the article:

“The rock formation is about 170 million years old, Utah State Parks spokesman Eugene Swalberg said. The park in central Utah is dotted with thousands of the eerie, mushroom shaped sandstone formations.”

Well the earth is only 6000 years old, so I really don’t see how these rocks could be that much older.

The rock formation may very well be that old, however it changes every day. Gravity takes it’s toll... With so little support, this particular rock was going down, be it seismic or an animal leaning against it.

To suggest that this rock had been sitting there in that condition is disingenuous.
