Master photographer Jackson Bridges working the entrance to 'Canyon X' - one of Northern Arizona's amazing slot canyons not far from the more famous Upper and Lower Antelope Canyons.

 

More than you probably want to know:

I was fortunate enough to get a private tour with Jackson - he calls this place ‘Canyon X’ because he was a big fan of the X-Files TV show and it looks like it was carved out by alien technology.

 

Canyon X is not open to the public; it's located on remote Navajo Nation land about 16 miles South of Page, AZ and 5 miles from the closest paved road. It can only be reached by 4-wheel drive on a bone jarring wash trail. Jackson describes the commute as getting a free full body massage. We spent 6 magical hours walking and shooting through this wavy sandstone maze that was at times over 100ft deep and a claustrophobic 3ft wide. Every so often, a desert crow would fly though the canyon making noises and freaky echoes that gave me instant goose bumps :O
