Description
A lone tree stands deep in a crevice of one of the Bryce Canyon Hoodoo formations.
Hoodoos are the tall skinny spires ,their odd sedimentary rock shapes are formed by two weathering processes. A frost wedge followed by repeated freeze thaw cycles leaves cracks and fissures. In these fissure bits of nature survive, dwarfed by the extreme conditions. Water continues to sculpt and shape. Mudstone and siltstone intersect with limestone and dolomite leading to erosional patterns of color and shape.Colors that change with light and season. The process started 50 million years ago in Utah when western Utah was an ancient lake, Bryce Canyon Nat'l Park is a splendid example of this geological wonder
