Canadian Rockies' Wokkpash Lake is remote and no detailed glacial history-study has been conducted in the area as of yet. What is known about the tour area, however, is the best hoodoos in the Rockies can be found along the Wokkpash Gorge. Hoodoos are pillars that form during rock formation erosion, when a harder layer or rock has prevented the erosion in one area.
