Hoodoos are tall, thin, spires of rock with variable thicknesses, having a "totem pole" shape.  They consist of soft stone topped by harder rock that erodes much more slowly.

  13. Oliver and Earnest are so precious! The mice are cute and so is that baby! You always take such great photos Margaret! Hoodoo is a ski area here in Oregon so I didn't know it was something else too!

  15. We stayed in a very "quaint" motel near Kootenay when we were traveling with our cousins in 2001. Well, at least our cousin Fred called it quaint because he had made the reservations. Cousin Laura and I just rolled our eyes when we saw where we were staying for the night. I first learned about hoodoos in 1988 when we were on a trip with other cousins. We stayed at Numtacha Lodge on the Jasper-Banff highway. It was a lovely old place and had chairs in the lobby that were made from moose antlers. I was almost afraid to sit in them!
