An Egale soars high in the sky

In the distance you can just see the Banff Springs Hotel

Our first stop this morning was a trip to the Hoodoos. They are found all over the Rockies and this one was just by our campsite. there is a well paved walkway to view them and we decided we had to see them before moving on,
Hoodoos are tall thin spires of rock that protrude from the bottom of arid basins and badlands. They are composed of soft sedimentary rock, and are topped by a piece of harder, less easily-eroded stone that protects the column from the elements.
