Another hidden treasure in Colorado Springs is the hoodoos found in Palmer Park. The soft stone has been carved over the centuries into formations.
A hoodoo (also called a tent rock, fairy chimney, and earth pyramid) is a tall, thin spire of rock that protrudes from the bottom of an arid drainage basin or badland.
Hoodoos consist of soft sedimentary rock topped by harder, less easily-eroded stone that protects each column from the elements.
