Bryce Canyon National Park
The Land of Hoodoos
I only had one evening to explore Bryce Canyon National Park, but it left a lasting impression. The unique landscape of towering hoodoos and red rock formations was surreal, especially as the sun began to dip below the horizon.
I spent some time wandering along the rim, taking in the dramatic scenery before finding the perfect spot to watch the sunset. As the sky transformed with shades of pink, orange, and purple, the natural ampitheaters and spires seemed to glow, creating one of the most stunning sunsets I've ever seen. It was a peaceful, awe-inspiring moment, making my short visit truly unforgettable.
What is a Hoodoo?
A hoodoo is a tall, thin spire of rock that protrudes from the bottom of an arid basin or badland. These formations are created by the erosion of soft rock layers beneath a harder, more resistant layer, which protects the spire from weathering so quickly. Over time, wind and water wear away the softer rock, leaving behind the pillar-like structures. Hoodoos are most famously found in Bryce Canyon National Park, where they create the park's iconic, otherworldly landscape, with their vibrant red, orange, and pink hues. Each hoodoo has a unique shape, carved by the forces of nature.
