Hoodoos (odd-shaped pillars of rock left standing from the forces of erosion) can be found on every continent, but here is the archetypal "hoodoo-iferous" terrain. Descriptions fail. Cave without a roof? Forest of stone? Even photographs strain credulity.'
On the other hand the beeing in Kodachrome Basin you will have a chance to see how the rocks glitter orange, crimson and mauve colors.
Day 7: Grand Canyon - north rim
Reserve one day to see Grand Canyon the 'unique combinations of geologic color and erosional forms decorate a canyon that is 277 river miles (446km) long, up to 18 miles (29km) wide, and a mile (1.6km) deep. Grand Canyon overwhelms our senses through its immense size.' If you have still some time make a quick visit to Cedar Breaks National Monument or Coral Pink Sand Dunes SP.
