I saw this thread and remembered this picture. I struggle with whether it fits the geologic definition of Tafoni but here it is. My family reacts violently to irresponsible cairn but as a piece of art I had to admire the effort. This is walking the Paria River to the confluence with Buckskin.

Cool, these „hikers art wall“ still exists. Saw this „artwork“ 10 yrs. ago, during the hike down to the confluence. A counterpart w/o Tafoni was near the Chesler Park/Joint Trail.

I’m pretty sure tafoni is a vegan dish made from tofu and macaroni...

Is this the spot you’re talking about?

 

[Michael]

Yes it is. Looks very clean.

Oh god...

Just a little fact about me, my phobia is Trypophobia. So this thread actually makes me feel nauseous and want to scratch my skin off.

Haha, not that the thread should stop, obviously, I will just not look at this one.

Interesting to know what Tafoni is though! Now when I see them in my ventures I can run away yelling "No, I see Tafoni!!" Hehe

Boo!

A nice Wingate wall in the Escalante area.

Still the best Tafoni in a canyon I've seen.

The more common name is solution cavities, like @Scott Chandler pointed out above.

Actually, I call them packrat hotels.

I've made many a geologically educated individual's day by pulling tafoni out of my hat
