-78-EnvironmentThe Hoodoo soilscape group occurs on poorly drained valley bottom site swithin the montane vegetative zone .HO 1 Map Unit (Rego and Orthic Gleysols )This map unit is characterized by poorly and very poorly drained soil sfound on alluvial fans . These soils are generally medium textured with less tha n10% coarse fragments . Mottles are present throughout the pedon .Table 20 .
