| The first toadstool we came upon . . . small compared to most but still impressive! |
 |
| Look at the different textures, colors and shapes of sandstone |
 |
| Standing tall, this hoodoo appears to be watching over the little ones |
 |
| Quite majestic . . . Notice the thin white layers in the red Entrada sandstone |
 |
| The famous Rimrock Toadstool Hoodoo |
 |
| It looks different from every direction |
 |
| The Lower Rimrock Hoodoos were fun to visit . . . Research shows that there are more interesting formations in the area . . . Guess we'll need to come back and see what lies to the west! |
 |
| Now we are headed to the Hoodoo Forest . . . Located in the Upper Rimrocks area, off the Cottonwood Wash Road |
 |
| From the rim we must drop down and weave our way onto the white bench . . . The bench is a 100 ft above the valley floor and only accessible from above |
 |
| Looking back towards the rim that we descended to reach the white bench . . . Although there is a faint trail, it can be sketchy in places! |
 |
| Be careful going to the Hoodoo Forest . . . one misstep could spell disaster Chipper was being a little too rambunctious . . . so Kent waited with him while I worked on photographs |
 |
| Wandering through the forest made me feel like I was on another planet |
 |
| Doesn't this hoodoo look like a meerkat? He seems to be watching over this unique brain-like mound of clay |
 |
| How has this hoodoo's caprock not fallen? |
 |
| One last look at the meerkat before heading back to Kent and Chipper . . . There was so much more that needed exploring on this bench . . . We will need to come back soon and continue the adventure! |
