See O. Do That Hoodoo That She Do So Well.

Bryce Canyon. Home of the mysterious Hoodoos. What is a hoodoo? Let O. demonstrate:

The hoodoos are the ones in pink.

Hoodoos are formed by water seeping into the cracks of the rock, then freezing and expanding to slowly widen the cracks. (Bryce dips below freezing about 200 nights out of the year.) This constant weathering process, plus wind and rain, combined with Bryce's mix of mineral deposits has over time created a dazzling forest of hoodoos of all shapes and sizes and colors. Take a look.


That's a powerful lot of hoodoo.

Hoodoo with hoo-hoo.


Even the trees are a little strange.

And grow in odd places.
