Today, geotourism is a new way to explain the earth sciences and identify the natural assets of each region, which in addition to playing an educational-scientific role, leads to the development of tourism in a region. Geopark is an area with well-defined areas and has enough area for the future economic development of the area. This area includes several interesting geological phenomena (in various dimensions and without considering the scales) with a combination of scientific features, rarity, or beauty of the phenomenon. Showing the geological history of the area, showing valuable processes in geology and archeology, ecology, history or culturology are also valuable. The purpose of this study is to evaluate a number of geosites in Mahneshan city (Janabad Madabad chimney, Behestan castle, Angoran mine, Aladaglar colored mountains, Belqis mountain, Khandaghloo reservoir, Qara Darreh Angoran chimneys) for the construction of a geopark.
