Hoodoos. Bryces Canyon Utah, Hoodoos are tall skinny spires of rock that protrude from the bottom of arid basins and 'broken' lands. Hoodoos are most commonly found in the High Plateaus region of the Colorado Plateau and in the Badlands regions of the Northern Great Plains. While hoodoos are scattered throughout these areas, nowhere in the world are they as abundant as in the northern section of Bryce Canyon National Park. In common usage, the difference between Hoodoos and pinnacles or spires is that hoodoos have a variable thickness often described as having a 'totem pole-shaped body.'
