Hoodoo Creek Hoodoos

Highlight • Natural Monument

This hike is a must if you're in the area. I think I'd even recommend a detour from Banff.

Hoodoos of Yoho National Park

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Hoodos are funny to look at. There are two trails, one gets you up to look down on them the other one leads to their base. Take the route up :)

Bridge to the Hoodoos

Highlight • Bridge

On the way to the hoodoos you cross a small bridge over the river. It is worth stopping here on the way back. To refresh and refill water 🏞

July 27, 2025,🇨🇦 07: Yoho-Nationalpark > Hoodoo Creekoos Way

Our first hike today took us to the spectacular hoodoos in Yoho National Park. The steep climb after the Bow River is worth every meter of elevation. Indescribable 😍

A recommended short and, in hot weather, strenuous hike to the hoodoos. 🪨☀️🥾☀️🗿☀️🏔

Hoodoos are naturally made gigantic cairns. 🗿

The way there is adventurous and quite steep and not secured but easy to find. 🥾🏔

The forest 🔥 is currently marked by a forest fire, making the hike abstract.
