This hoodoo is in a clifftop grotto which overlooks the surrounding landscape. It is with a small cluster having several other hoodoos. It is near the top eroded edge of an expansive badlands sometimes called the Wahweap Formation. You can see the plains below it in several pictures. Behind it is a cliff side that goes up to a plateau above the hoodoo.

Some spectacular colors - pink, yellow and purple - are found in nearby exposed limestone deposits. The colors come from different impurities in the limestone that are slowly being leached from the rock due to slow water seepage through stone over extensive periods of time.

The red in the first limestone picture from the set of colored limestones pictured at the bottom of this gallery is the natural color of the limestone in this area before it is leached away by water erosion and other impurities are introduced.
