Which national park is famous for having one of the world’s largest concentrations of hoodoos?

Bryce Canyon National Park is famous for one of the world’s largest concentrations of hoodoos.

Hoodoos are tall, irregular rock spires created by erosion. At Bryce Canyon, frost wedging and chemical weathering act on layers of sedimentary rock, gradually enlarging cracks and leaving behind narrow pillars. The result is a vast amphitheater filled with orange, red, and white formations.

Despite its name, Bryce Canyon is not a traditional river-carved canyon. Its main landscapes are eroded escarpments and amphitheaters on the eastern edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau. The formations change slowly as freezing, thawing, rain, and gravity continue to wear away the rock.

Bryce Canyon became a national park in 1928, after earlier protection as national monument and national park status under different names. The park is often confused with nearby Zion and Capitol Reef, but Bryce is especially identified with hoodoos and the spectacular Bryce Amphitheater.
