Toadstool Hoodoos

The Toadstool Hoodoos Trail is a unique, quick hike right off of Highway 89. If you plan to head to Page, Arizona, or complete hikes between Kanab, Utah and Page, add this one to your itinerary.

Many are familiar with the red and orange hoodoos in the Cedar Breaks and Bryce Canyon recreation zones. The Toadstool Hoodoos trail will introduce you to sandstone hoodoos that are white, cream, and grey in color. Throw in the classic oranges and reds, and you have been transported to another planet with sweeping views of Martian-like landscape.

This hike follows a track into the hoodoos, where you can wander around. Check out the shaded area of the dry falls for some cool sand to put your feet in, and explore even further back for some legendary views.
