This magnet photo captures one of the most spectacular Hoodoos within Big Bend National Park, illuminated by the stunning hues of sunset when much of the Park glows bright red in the light.

What are Hoodoos?

• Hoodoos are tall spires of rock formed by the erosion of softer rock layers, which are easily worn away. These unique formations jut out from cliffs or areas of rock on the desert floor.
• They vary in size, ranging from the height of an average human to towering structures exceeding the height of a ten-story building.
• The shapes of Hoodoos are influenced by the erosional patterns of alternating hard and softer rock layers.

Hoodoos in Big Bend National Park

Hoodoos can be found in several locations within the Park. The word Hoodoo originates from the Southern Paiute word "oo’doo," which refers to something scary or that inspires fear.
