Place Title: HoodoosPlace Description:
The Municipal District of Smoky River is home to some of these fascinating and beautiful rock formations. Known as hoodoos, these formations tower high in the sky, and provide fantastic photo opportunities. The geological explanation for hoodoos is that they are the product of millions of years of erosion—in which a lower layer of soft rock wears away, leaving a top-heavy layer of harder rock protruding above the surrounding landscape. However, Alberta’s hoodoo legends are somewhat more entertaining, telling of ancient travellers witnessing the hoodoos reveal themselves to be wizards, offering a helping hand to lost explorers by pointing them in the right direction. These amazing wonders of nature are very remote and can be accessed only by helicopter or viewed from the Smoky River by river boat. Helicopter tours can be booked by contacting Valley B Aviation and river tours can be booked by contacting Peace River Adventures.
