This hoodoo (a tall, thin rock spire) is possibly the most iconic natural monument in Bryce Canyon National Park. Named after the mighty weapon of the Norse God, the spire stands 150 feet above the canyon floor and can be seem from most areas around the Amphitheater.

Thor's Hammer is the striking rock with the big stone on top. It can be easily visited from Sunset Point.
