King of Wings Hoodoo | New Mexico Photo Spot
Share this Page
The King of Wings Hoodoo, located in the Ah-Shi-Sle-Pah Wilderness of New Mexico, is a geological marvel that makes for an extraordinary photo subject. This uniquely shaped rock formation, resembling a massive stone wing, is the result of centuries of erosion working its magic on the sandstone. This isolated hoodoo, standing tall in the high desert, offers a dramatic contrast to the relatively flat surrounding landscape. Visiting at sunrise or sunset can offer the best lighting conditions, painting the formation in warm hues and casting long, striking shadows. A wide-angle lens is recommended to capture the full span of the “wing”, and a sturdy tripod is a must for sharp, high-quality images. Please remember to respect this delicate natural feature to ensure it can be enjoyed by future generations.
