Hoodoos are a strange geo­log­i­cal rock for­ma­tion found mainly in Bryce Canyon National Park, Col­orado and the Bad­lands of South Dakota. Their for­ma­tion con­sist of  dif­fer­ent lay­ers of hard and soft sed­i­men­tary rock. Gen­er­ally the hard lay­ers being on top, ero­sion of the softer lay­ers of rock gives them their strange unusual chim­ney or mush­room  shapes. The size of the Hoodoos in the gallery range from a cou­ple feet  to about 50 feet and are located in Wood­man Val­ley Park in Col­orado Springs.  One of for­ma­tions in the area is called the Dutch Wed­ding Rock, which is not access­able due to being on pri­vate land. Hoodoos in Bryce Canyon National Park can be more than 100 feet tall.
