| 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, the hauntingly beautiful flute music of Nakai's "Inner Voices" provided accompaniment on my Ipod. At one point, I closed my eyes, and envisioned the stone Hoodoos stepping down from their base stands, while swaying as we danced to the music provided. When the music ended, I opened my eyes and they all returned to stone once again. . .I went 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 - Who knew it was about Hoodoos?
