Hike among the Hoodoos

Our hike took us down 800 ft  among these hoodoos.

This hoodoo is called Queen Victoria.  She overlooks the "garden of hoodoos"

Hence the name of the hike.

Before we started back up we walked through a valley with a small creek running through it which was filled with all

sorts of evergreen trees, occasion al hoodoos and lots of debris from hoodoos that had collapsed

/There were several tunnels such as this along the trail.

We started out to take a hike down the Queen' Garden Trail and up the Navajo Trail only to find very strong cold wind and snow. We waited an hour and started again--and we're glad we did. We hiked down to the river valley floor and up again a hike of not quite 5 mikes and 800ft change in elevation. We were dressed warmly and did shed our down jackets on the hike out--keeping our wind breakers on!
