The hoodoos look like tall very thin people generally with grey hair - the Navajo sandstone. The 16 mile trip through the park is dotted with overlooks where you can look down on the strange and remarkable rocks. Sometimes you wonder how the hoodoo remains standing. A hoodoo does have a 'life' because when it looses it white top erosion will eventually cause it to crumble.

Bryce Canyon National Park
Bryce Canyon National Park is a scenic wonder. It is amazing what the wind and rain can to to rocks over time. The main feature of the park are rock formations called Hoodoos. These are formations caused by a hard top layer of rock - usually dolomite or Navajo sandstone with red wyngate underneath.
