These are great photos of the hoodoos Terri and the captions are so clever. They are beautiful capped with snow. I have to ask … in the top image, is that a deer behind you or a statue of a deer somehow connected to the Bryce Canyon sign? What is the likelihood of you posing and a deer happens by? My boss went to Moab on a whitewater rafting trip about ten years ago. He really enjoyed it.

  Thanks, Linda! That deer is part of the sign. Too many people around. One of these days we hope to get over to Moab, Monument Valley and Arches.

    I wondered if it was a “two-faced” sign as the deer was facing the other way … very clever of the Park as they know people will want to pose for photos here. I hope you get to the other venues Terri. I saw my boss’ photos – they were picturesque.

Great photos, Terri, of a beautiful spot, and the snow was the icing on the cake so to speak!

Love seeing it with the snow, Terri. When we saw hoodoos on Mt. Lemmon, my first thought was courtesy of Paul Simon: “I’d say “now who do . . .Who do you think you’re fooling?”

So much want to go to Utah, and your photos only increase that! I may have to get rid of my fear of tarantulas first though!

  Lol, it was too cold for tarantulas, Paul, go in the early-late spring. I still want to see Moab, Zion and Arches. Some day! Thank you for stopping by!

  We were so lucky to go, Susanne! The Colorado plateau and areas in Las Vegas are filled with the red and white rocks. So unique to the West!

  It really is, Willow, I took too many pics in case we don’t go back. But I would love to when the snow melts.

I love that place! And, I was thinking about Bryce Canyon very recently, when we visited the Red Desert of the Tatacoa Desert here in Colombia. Very similar. I thought about the hoodoos, which are called “hoyos” here. 🙂

  It was amazing to see the amphitheater from the lookouts which was all we had time for. The park ranger mentioned hoodoo are all over the world, as confirmed by you, Liesbet. I’m behind reading posts, I’ll stop by soon 😀

  Snow on the red rocks is a photographer’s dream, right Nancy? We had the same “luck” at our first visit to Sedona a few years ago. We got snowed in and had to stay longer than we needed to. We couldn’t travel to northern Arizona then, but wow the images I caught in Sedona with snow dusting the red rocks was a gift!

  Thank you Cathy, I took way too many pics, but it’s hard not to share. I was happy my camera’s zoom really got me close to the distant hoodoos to see their details.
