what a colorful scenery
on the Navajo Loop trail
One of Mother Nature's most spectacular creations is on permanent display in
Eons of
frost weathering have created rows and rows of multicolored pilars called
hoodoos, loosely
arranged in a gigantic natural amphitheatre.
First humans roamed the area 10 millenia ago and later the Anasazi and
Fremont cultures left their marks. When the first Europeans arrived
Paiute Indians lived in the area.
Sunset Point is the goto place for a realy breathtaking scenic panorama.
From
here you can take the Navaho Loop trail down into the canyon and stroll in admiration between the hoodoos and the centuries old Douglas
Firs. Watch for ravens and chipmunks.
We visited this marvel in June1990 and returned in May 1994
