Labyrinth Canyon is accessed by boat near the SW end of Lake Powell. The water slot eventually narrows to the point where the boat has to be tied / anchored / beached, then it's a 50m swim through the slot to dry canyon floor (ref. WL 3635 ft.). There are three major slots to explore in Labyrinth, all worth the investment of a few hours' time.

I've been reading Larry's Party by Carol Shields, and the central image of mazes and labyrinths has been resonating with me.
Every culture on earth, from Aborigines to Native Americans to ancient Greeks uses the symbol of the labyrinth for some kind of spiritual journey - it was hugely popular in Medieval Europe as a symbol of the journey from birth to god.
But at the moment, this is what depression feels like, this endless trip, spiralling in on myself, retreading the same ground, the same arguments, the same circular thoughts whirring round and round, endlessly, recursively. Is it a journey in, or a journey out?

In Greek mythology, the Labyrinth was an elaborate structure designed and built by the legendary artificer Daedalus for King Minos of Crete at Knossos. Its function was to hold the Minotaur, a mythical creature that was half man and half bull and was eventually killed by the Athenian hero Theseus. Daedalus had made the Labyrinth so cunningly that he himself could barely escape it after he built it. Theseus was aided by Ariadne, who provided him with a skein of thread, literally the "clew", or "clue", so he could find his way out again.
In colloquial English, labyrinth is generally synonymous with maze, but many contemporary scholars observe a distinction between the two: maze refers to a complex branching (multicursal) puzzle with choices of path and direction; while a single-path (unicursal) labyrinth has only a single, non-branching path, which leads to the center. A labyrinth in this sense has an unambiguous route to the center and back and is not designed to be difficult to navigate.
Many labyrinths set in floors or on the ground are large enough that the path to the center and back can be walked. They have historically been used both in group ritual and for private meditation. In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in the labyrinth symbol, which has inspired a revival in labyrinth building. Labyrinths are used by modern mystics to help achieve a contemplative state. Walking among the turnings, one loses track of direction and of the outside world, and thus quiets the mind. The Labyrinth Society provides a locator for modern labyrinths all over the world.
No habrá nunca una puerta. Estás adentro
y el alcázar abarca el universo
y no tiene ni anverso ni reverso
ni externo muro ni secreto centro.

There'll never be a door. You're inside
and the keep encompasses the world
and has neither obverse nor reverse
nor circling nor secret center.

sterling silver and rutilated quartz
unwind your ball of twine, construct your waxen wings, take one step and then another, wending the ancient path that many have taken before you.
beware the minotaur, beware the goblin king!
around and around,
around and around.......
Have had so many insights from labyrinths, one of which is - you never know when you've crossed the halfway point to your life. That's especially moving and sad to me right now in light of the recent shootings of those sweet children as well as innocent adults in Sandy Hook Elementary, New Town CT. How can age 3 be the halfway point? Simply tragic.
