Hoodoos by abirkill

Hoodoos

Hoodoos in Bryce Canyon National Park in southern Utah. Hoodoos are spires of rock that have layers of varying hardness, causing them to have eroded differently from top to bottom. Bryce Canyon National Park has the most concentrated collection of hoodoos in the world.

This was taken just after sunrise on the trail below the Sunset Point viewpoint in the park. Walking down the trail was easy, but even after just an hour of the sun being up it was starting to get unpleasantly warm, and combined with an altitude of 8,000 feet meant the climb back with my camera gear seemed to be quite hard work!

Pretty much straight out of camera, just a slight crop and a few tweaks to the levels to give it a bit more punch and eliminate some of the haze.

Once again, apologies for my lack of posting and commenting -- I'll catch up with everyone when I'm back home!
Love the warm colours! Hope you're having a great trip.
Would love to go back here - & Zion.

@humphreyhippo There's just so much to see, I haven't given it nearly enough time. Done Bryce, Zion and the GC, but all too quickly. Can definitely see a 14 day RV holiday around here in my future -- but not in July, it's too hot!
