Honestly I always saw a face in the rocks shape, but(t) now that people are pointing it out - I do see the Freudian shapes as(s) well…

I wonder if anyone has even been up there

t1_j72exr9 wrote

Probably shouldn't, but I'll bet someone crazy enough has done it. Looks climbable, but I may be getting thrown off by scale and perspective.

t1_j7449cl wrote

The issue isn't really size or shape of the hoodoo. The challenge is the fact that the rock is extremely soft and will just crumble if you try to climb it.

t1_j75632a wrote

Zoom in. Doesnt look too soft to me, although I can see it crumbling once or twice.

t1_j75kodd wrote

Really? It doesn't look to soft to you? It looks like a giant dirt clump.

t1_j77swti wrote

Dude. I've been to Bryce. The red rock is all sandstone, which is extremely soft. At its softest, you crush it in your hand. Even at its strongest I would not trust it to hold my weight. Going down the trail I lost my balance and grabbed onto the wall. Instead of stopping my fall I just hit the ground with a chunk of sandstone.

If you max out your stamina you could probably make it. I think there’s a Korok seed up there as well.

t1_j76l9kn wrote

Looked it up, there's a sheika tower close by you can glide in from. Easy climb.

Torsonic Polarity Sydrome, or TPS. The main feature is they have asses where their heads should be.

Is that a drone shot?

t1_j73std7 wrote

Doubtful. The main park path gets SUPER close to this feature, Thor's Hammer. To my eye, it looks like a slight zoom from your standard angle at a lookout point with benches.

OP t1_j74hvy5 wrote

You’re right. It’s shot with a 100mm prime on a full frame camera.

2

OP t1_j74l3w8 wrote

No - but if it’s legal to fly a drone in the area, I really wish to make a drone video in that exact location. That would look incredible.

t1_j74vodk wrote

I think I've been on that ledge with the gate. I didn't remember it having its flat top that low but it was 2 years ago. They allow drones in the state parks, but only in winter, and they want to shake you down for $10 for a day's license. I doubt anyone really gets caught for not paying.

Holy shit this is amazing! Also just realized this landmark is in riders republic😂

t1_j73sm8j wrote

This particular landmark, Thor's Hammer, is expected to topple due to natural erosion any time now, for sure in the next couple of years but it really could be any day.

OP t1_j74iv87 wrote

I didn’t know - that makes me feel a little nostalgic, the photo is from 2017 and I always wanted to go back there and have more time - see the landmarks during sunrise and sunset.

Thanks for sharing.

t1_j74ym0t wrote

One of the times I went there was in the winter. They do snow shoe tours, I got there for sunrise in eeeeeearly January one year and it was epic. 2019 I think for that trip. Lemme see if I have some of the photos for easy sharing for you.

Some people say the former president should be added to Mt Rushmore in South Dakota...

...others point out Utah already has a giant orange scrotum on a rock.

t1_j73wvkb wrote

There's actually another rock formation that looks even more like a fist there. Unfortunately I can't post photos in the comments on this sub. Bryce is a really cool place.

OP t1_j74j3f8 wrote

I’ve always been seeing a face - but I do see a fist now as well.

t1_j73c2hd wrote

Such a beautiful place!

OP t1_j74jlyd wrote

One of my favourite places in the world - I have to go back to Utah some day and spend at least a month.

On skimming Reddit I read the title as Bryan Cranston, and was trying to figure that one out!

OP t1_j74k24e wrote

Hmm, while I was digging through my photo archives and eventually stumbled upon this photo - it’s from 2017 - I was watching the Bryan Cranston on the Hot Ones show. Maybe my subconsciousness did some work there…

t1_j73d6jx wrote

I thought I was going to see a picture of Brian Cranston.

Thors Hammer? We’ll be in Bryce in April, one of our favourite parks, well worth the trip from the UK.

2

t1_j73t35n wrote

It is, and Take it in while you can. Thors hammer is expected to topple from erosion any time now. I think it's unlikely it'll happen before April, hopefully it'll hold on for a couple more years, but it really could be any day.

t1_j763bvi wrote

We’ll be taking it all in again for sure, it’s a few years now since we were last there. Can’t wait to be back!

OP t1_j74kctd wrote

Amazing I hope I’m gonna be able to go back there soon. Are you going to Zion, Arches and Canyon Lands as well?

2

t1_j7639lk wrote

Yes, we arrive in Vegas, straight out to Zion, then Bryce on to Moab & Arches, followed by Aspen, down the $1m dollar highway to Durango, on to Monument Valley, Grand Canyon and back to LV via the last remnants of Rte 66. 24 days total with 3 nights in most stops. It’s what we had planned for an Anniversary trip in 2020 but had to cancel that thanks to Covid. Lots of side trips and hikes planned in along the way!

The little trees on top are killing me. Life, impervious, prevailing, everywhere.

Agree. The trees blow my mind - it’s my favourite detail in the photo.

t1_j73k5qx wrote

The place is beautiful. Was there a few months ago well worth the visit.

t1_j73m4m6 wrote

Love that it’s not your typical Bryce Canyon photo but if you key in on the focal point you can totally tell it’s Bryce

t1_j73sf45 wrote

If you like this picture, This feature is called Thors Hammer. With standard wind and water erosion it's going to topple any day now. If you want to see it, You should plan a trip ASAP. The landscape is incredible even with out it.

I'd climb it but it looks like it's about to break and fall.

t1_j75c961 wrote

Unbelievably gorgeous place! Fun fact: My uncle and cousins did all the electrical work for the visitors/gift shop building there at Bryce Canyon! I hope I can take my husband and sons there one day.

t1_j75t54r wrote

This park is by far one of my favorites. I feel like it's not as well known and people only go because it's close to Zion, but it's truly spectacular. I had the most strangely emotional experience when I was there and hiked down amongst the hoodoos.

t1_j72n746 wrote

Some say it looks like a butt...

I say it's the fondling of the balls.
