Then there are the quartz-sandstone pillars -- renamed "Avatar Hallelujah Mountains" because they are said to have inspired the floating mountains of the fictional Pandora -- the setting for the film Avatar.

The cable car passageway claims to be the longest cableway in the world -- it consists of 98 cable cars, is over four and a half miles long, is nearly 4,200 feet above the ground, and has an unusually steep gradient of 37 degrees.
