The elusive hoo-doos

Nicole and I went for a hike on saturday and it supposedly had some pretty impressive hoo-doos as part of the scenery. If you dont know what hoo-doos are, they look something like this: (note: this is a random picture, we did NOT see these hoo-doos :)

They are kind of like pillars of rock formed by erosion...so anyway, we were supposed to see some on our hike. so we hiked.....
and hiked.....
and hiked....
furthru and furthur we got up hoo-doo creek, which was fun hopping from rock to rock, but we came to the end of the creek where it flowed out of a gorge and no hoo-doos! We tried to climb up a bit, until Nicole did a little slide down the rock face.This rock face to be exact. Just Left of the snow and up about two inches on your screen :) It was quite a fall, so we decided to be safe and turned around. After eating lunch we explored a little bit furthur up the mountain a different way, but only came to more steepness and sheer rock. NO HOO-DOOS!! oh well. we still viewed some beautiful scenery.

This is a view of Abraham Lake.

Ans this is a view of our friend we met on the highway. Yes i got out of the car to take the picture!! isn't he precious...the cute little mauling deadly black bear.

All in All a great day!
