Description
The Hoodoo Trail is the shortest and easiest of the four trails near the Visitor Center. It climbs only 30 feet in 0.3 miles, but it takes you to the base of some towering hoodoos near the road. It starts from just west of the Visitor Center at the first turnout, or you could connect to it from the Pink Ledges Trail.
