The Hoodoo Trails of Bryce Canyon

Hoodoos in Bryce Canyon, Utah a trail leads down into one of world’s most interesting geological formations – the Hoodoos.

Hoodoos are tall, thin spires of rock created by millions of years of erosion from wind, water, and ice, often topped with a harder, protective caprock. They form in sedimentary rock, and the world’s highest concentration is found in Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah. Key formation processes include water seeping into cracks, freezing, and expanding to widen the cracks (frost wedging), along with wind and water carrying away softer rock layers beneath the caprock.
