Nice short hike with strange looking rock formations, small and large hoodoos. This is an out-n-back with a lot of sun exposure. The trail follows a wash, and will get a bit washed out with recent rains. But the trail mostly winds nicely and is visit often so a nice trail is typically worn up to the top. The top is a big flat rock area with multiple hoodoos. The most prominent Toadstool is right in the middle at the front of the sandstone flat section.

This is a great place to stop for a short but fun and interesting hike. It is a big far outside Kanab, but is great as a stop when travelling through the area.
