[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3065738, member: 7900"] The toadstools are formed when the sandstone erodes away to create a column, but leaving a "capstone" atop the column that is generally a harder substance than the sandstone. While the toadstools are interesting and somewhat unique, the area around them abounds with such a variety of colors, patterns, and examples of erosion. The following photos may not have a lot of dialogue with them, but I think anyone viewing can appreciate the beauty shown in them.

[url=https://terrymiller.smugmug.com/Utah-Sights-and-Attractions/Toadstools-in-Utah-12222017/i-pzwDx46/A][img]https://photos.smugmug.com/Utah-Sights-and-Attractions/Toadstools-in-Utah-12222017/i-pzwDx46/0/5a1a2c19/X2/DSC_2469-X2.jpg[/img][/url] The trail back to the toadstools is roughly 3/4 of a mile from the trailhead, which is just off of Highway 89 and about 30 miles (roughly) from Page, AZ. Most of the trail to the toadstools is in the dry wash, but if there is any water running (probably rarely since this area doesn't get a lot of rainfall, one would have to make their trail up out of the wash.
