Bryce Canyon, Utah

Today, we went to Bryce Canyon, Utah. It was really awesome. Due to erosion, the earth is formed into tall structures called, "hoodoos." (ryhmes with voodoo). They are sometimes tall and skinny or a little stubby. Some are named after certain people or things from history. For instance, one hoodoo looks like a woman in one of those old Victorian ball gowns. This one is called Queen Victoria. Also, towards the end of our photos, you'll see this giant thing sticking out of the ground. This hoodoo is called, "Thor's Hammer," named after the Norse God of Thunder's hammer. It looks like a hammer.
