Arizona


Slot canyon in Arizona.

This place was just something else. I have never been in anything like this in my life, and was totally blown away by the place. Where you are looking at in this picture is where we just walked through..........impossible to describe as far as sheer overwhelming presence and beauty go.....definitely an enlightening experience.

You can only go down this canyon with an Indian guide as it is on Navajo land, and also for the safety aspect. Eleven people lost their lives in this canyon in a flash flood 10 years ago............you are literally up to 15 to 20 meters or maybe even more below ground level in an extremely narrow canyon with no way out except the way you came in, (they are open at the top) and some of the places are that narrow that you have to squirm and slide through them and down to the next level.

Every photo I took in this place has come out pure gold.
