Camel-like hoodoos such as this one are fairly common among the uncommon occurrence of hoodoos in general. They likely begin as two closely spaced hard rocks laying on a soft, flat sedimentary deposit. Then erosion begins and the two rocks form capstones for two separate and growing hoodoos. The capstone for one of the hoodoos then gets knocked off by some natural process so that one of the newly formed hoodoo pedestals is now unprotected from the elements and erosion rounds it's top to take on the appearance of a camel's hump.

This gallery also includes several other nearby hoodoos in the same cliff side grotto. There was a Pronghorn nearby up on the plateau above the eroded badlands where these hoodoos are located.

Often hoodoo grottoes are impossible to see from an above plateau until you come right up to the edge of a steep cliff. Such is the case with the white camel. Then you have to find a way to scale the cliff face to get down to the ledges where the hoodoos are located to photograph them.
