If you get the chance, please pay a visit to the glorious rock formation that is AKA Thor’s Hammer.

It is one of the tallest stone columns, or hoodoos, in Bryce Canyon - Utah.

This column of rock stands at 150 feet high and is capped with a large piece of hardened mud stone. The handle part of the formation is made form softer limestone. It is thought that the harder rock protects the softer rock underneath - hence it’s longevity and unusual shape.

Go check it out - it makes a truly wonderful pic at sunset…
