Three
kilometers south of Windy Point there is a usually dry creek
bed marked by a large pile of rocks on the hill side of the
road. It is Hoodoo Creek, named after two very fine specimens
of hoodoos, earth pillars with a cap stone, formed by the erosion
over centuries. This is a half hour scramble along the rubble
of the creek bed with a short, tricky section where the creek
has carved a V-shaped cut into the rocks. Attempt in dry weather
and with good footwear only.
