Description:
|
These rock formations, which are essentially pillars of stone, look out across the Bow River from their perch on Tunnel Mountain. Sculpted by erosion, the Hoodoos are an intriguing example of geological activity; other similar formations can be found at Lake Minnewanka. Native Americans believed the pillars were giants who threw rocks at travelers each night or that they were homes for evil spirits. Their activity seems to have lessened in the recent past. |
