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. 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. 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. Formation The Dutch Creek Hoodoos are formed just like all other Hoodoos form. Over time as the ground shifts and moves cracks form that causes pockets to form. When rain begins to fall it is easily caught in the cracks and can often settle within those pockets. As temperatures drop the water freezes and expands the pockets often causing larger portions of rock to break off. This process is referred to as 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 Kootenai tribe that is made up of people from Idaho, Montana, and British Columbia Canada. Throughout history, the Ktunaxa nation has told their Creation story that depicts how the Ktunaxa nations boundaries and lakes was formed. At the roots of the Ktunaxa nation you'd find an ancestral world full of animals because humans had not yet been created. During those ancestral times the ancient sea monster Yawunik was known to kill a number of animals so a council head up by the Chief animal Nalmuqcin was formed to defeat Yawunik. The council combined the Kootenay River and Columbia River systems to trap Yawunik within the Columbia Lake and chased him throughout the river system. Over the course of this chase Yawunik gave name to many well known locations near the rivers and lakes of Canada. As the chase continued so did the naming of locations along the way. After failing to capture Yawunik multiple times Nalmuqcin sat along the
