"Castles National Landmark is located in the Slim Buttes land unit in South Dakota. The Castles are a massive sandstone remnant which originated as a volcanic ash deposit and resemble a medieval castle. This natural wonder also serves as a habitat for one of North America's largest populations of Merlin falcons." ~ Forest Service, USDA
