No journey of the amazing sites and adventures along Utah's Highway 12 would be complete without visiting Bryce Canyon National Park, with its array of naturally carved spires and Hoodoos.
What is a Hoodoo, you ask? There are several definitions provided for the term according to Merriam - Webster. But a Native American Indian definition related to the Bryce Canyon formations is the stone formations are Hoodoos - and are dead men standing.
While walking along trails, and photographing the Hoodoos from various perspectives, I enjoy the hauntingly beautiful flute music of Nakai's "Inner Voices" which provides delightful accompaniment. And, if eyes are closed, it’s easy imagining the stone Hoodoos stepping down from their base stands, while swaying to the music provided! However, once eyes are opened, they all return to stone again. It’s a return to reality and time to move on to the next point of interest.
Along Highway 12, what other national and state parks provide in massive rock monoliths, Bryce Canyon is found to be more delicately carved. But at Bryce - It's all about the Hoodoos!
I take pictures for the purpose of remembering fond times. I do not impose copyright restrictions on these photos, so you may feel free to use, or distribute as you wish. However, should you need a Real Estate Professional in the Greater Sacramento area, I hope that you will contact me by email or by visiting my website www.myrljeffcoat.com - Thank You!

Mryl, I love it. I had never heard that term before, but it makes perfectly good sense when you relate it to the canyon.

That's interesting. We have no hoodoos around here, yet we have HooDoo Valley and HooDoo Mountain.

Hi Myrl,
Bryce is definitely one of the most fascinating and beautiful places I have ever visited. I was there as a teenager and was so amazed it was one of the places I made sure my husband and I went together. I have pictures somewhere. Thanks for sharing your photos and bringing back those memories.

Myrl Jeffcoat - OMG if I were there I don't think I'd want to blink or go to sleep. So much surreal beauty and I'll bet that listening to the Native American Flute music could transcend you into another world.
WOW!!! I want to go there and wish I could leave NOW!!!
