I think in that case they are referring hoodoo in the context of: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoodoo_(spirituality)

My recollection of the "Born on the Bayou (CCR)" lyrics is that the word is Voodoo, which is a Haitian/Cajun southern and swampy word for evil magic. Voodoo has many pronunciations and spellings including hoodoo.
Hoodoo is a geologic term for the rock stacks, as seen in this picture, in the US desert southwest.

Nah - this would be somewhat facing tunnel view based on the perspective. Have fun ! Such a magical place.

Really depends on the area! Some places in utah have 10 or so really magnificent ones, Bryce canyon has tens of thousands all clustered together in spines from the canyon rim. This area had the most I've ever seen that are all free standing on their own and not connected. They ranged in size from hundreds of feet high, to a few inches.

European here. I only ever heard about hoodoos in the lyrics to „Born on the Bayou“ (CCR). So I always assumed it was something southern and swampy. How many sorts of hoodoos do you have over there?

Opposite side. You can't see horsetail falls from tunnel view. You need to be in the east side, like the el capital picnic area or further east

Headed there on Sunday, hoping beyond all hope I get to see it. Was this taken from Tunnel View?
