Are those towers called hoodoos the same as in the Alberta, Canada? - 0095ca4c, Aug 23, 2013

I have never heard of 'hoodoos'. I am not sure if there is a nickname for them here. - 0083f5dc, Aug 23, 2013

Hoodoos take millions of years to form and stand 5 to 7 metres tall. Each hoodoo is a sandstone pillar resting on a thick base of shale that is capped by a large stone. Hoodoos are very fragile and can erode completely if their capstone is dislodged - 0095ca4c, Aug 24, 2013

he name "Hoodoo" comes from the word "voodoo" and was given to these geological formations by the Europeans. In the Blackfoot and Cree traditions, however, the Hoodoos are believed to be petrified giants who come alive at night to hurl rocks at intruders - 0095ca4c, Aug 24, 2013
