Story

I visited the Hoodoo Trail as part of a brief stop on my way to Kanab, UT for a business meeting. The Hoodoo Trail is a quick and kind of pointless walk through the trees past two prominent hoodoos in Red Canyon. It's more of a stoll than a hike, and there's nothing visible from the trail that isn't visible from the road. With that said, the area is actually quite nice and very pretty.
