"Hell-Bent for Hoodoos"
"Hell-Bent for Hoodoos"
"On top of the sky is a place where you go if you've done nothing wrong,
If you've done nothing wrong ..
And down in the ground is a place where you go if you've been a bad boy,
If you've been a bad boy.
Why can't we have eternal life,
And never die ...?"
The Pink Member of the Claron Formation is largely composed of easily eroded and relatively soft limestone. When rain combines with carbon dioxide, it forms a weak solution of carbonic acid. This acid helps to slowly dissolve the limestone in the Claron Formation grain by grain.
It's this process of chemical weathering that rounds the edges of hoodoos, and gives them their lumpy and bulging profiles.
Bryce Canyon, Utah, has one of the highest concentrations of hoodoos any place on Earth.
Now, it's time for a Hoodoo Hoedown .. at the old town tonight.
