Southern Utah March 2025 – White Rocks – Part 6

This is the final part for the first afternoon visit to White Rocks in Southern Utah in March 2025.

Birdhead Hoodoo
Sunward Tilt

Late day sunlight reflects off of the bodies of these hoodoos and illuminates the underside of the flat tops, which would otherwise by in shadow.

Fat Boy and Thin Man
At Day’s End
Space Shuttle Hoodoo

I’ve made up names for these hoodoos, which seem fitting to me, but others might think of other names they like better.

Remnants
Exiting

After climbing out of the White Rocks canyon, which was already nearly all in shadow, I paused to capture a few shots over the canyon and the landscape around the canyon. The sun was low in the sky, not quite golden hour, but the lighting was good. We still had to hike back to our vehicle and make a slow drive out of this area, which is best done in daylight, so we never quite waited for sunset.

This wraps up this late day shoot in White Rocks.

Until next time and thanks for following,

More photography in an area known as White Rocks in Southern Utah.

Looking for the Missing Head

This group of hoodoos seem to be looking about for the fallen head of the headless stump in the background.

Flat Top Hoodoos

There are many of these “Flat Top” hoodoos in this area and many headless ones as those flat tops eventually fall off.

Square Head Hoodoo

The square shape of the head on this hoodoo looks as if it could have been purposely shaped. Getting this image with that georgeous sky behind it was a bonus.

Square Head from another view point

Maybe those rocks in the foreground are from previous hoodoos here?

Hot Cross Buns

The creases and lines in these rocks remind me of baked rolls.

Rock Wall Features

As the various layers of rock erode and collapse from a wall here, interesting textural features are created with lines, shapes and fractures.

Catching Late Day Sunshine

The sunlight disappears well before sunset over most of this erroded valley, limiting the opportunity for golden hour light.

Hoodoo You See

Shooting from “behind” these hoodoos, looking down and over the valley of their dominion, seeing that valuey as they see it.
