The Dutch Creek Hoodoos are located in British Columbia, Canada, and can be seen along British Columbia Highway 93/British Columbia Highway 95 between Canal Flats and Fairmont Hot Springs, British Columbia.^[1] The Dutch Creek Hoodoos are within a 67-acre conservation area that is managed by the Natural Conservancy of British Columbia. This conservation area is joined by the Nature Trust Hoffert Property and they both act as a habitat for varying plants and animals including the American badger, Lewis's woodpecker, the Hooker's Townsendia, Eagle, and Hawk.^[2] The Dutch Creek Hoodoos can be further discovered by following the 4.6 mile trail that faces an elevation gain of 95 meters over the course of the trail.^[2]

Formation

The Dutch Creek Hoodoos are formed just like all other

Ice Wedging and the repeating of this process causes the formation of a Fin. When ice wedging occurs within the fin a Window can form and when a window can no longer support the weight it breaks and leaves behind what we now call a Hoodoo

History

The Ktunaxa Nation is made up of the

Yellowstone Park, and the Rocky Mountains. The Ktunaxa Nation believes the people were then deemed the keepers of the land and the many animals were able to ascend to the above and act as spirit guides to the people who remained below.^[3]
