Slot Zeist is a seventeenth-century castle in the Dutch municipality of Zeist that was built as a pleasure resort for Willem Adriaan van Nassau. The castle was designed by architect Jacobus Roman. The castle is surrounded by an English landscape park and the Broeder and Zusterplein.
Jasper, Jean and I are exploring Southern Utah this week. This morning we found a couple of slot canyons near Kanab. Though a bit too wet for a thorough exploration, it was still very cool. Even at 12 years old, Jasper hiked like a champ.
Not Antelope Canyon...a "secret" off-the-maps slot canyon that our favorite guide took us to in northern AZ. This is a ceiling shot.

If you are looking to visit a slot canyon, this site horseshoebendtours.com/ offers both private and limited number tours. 14 is the max. It was an awesome experience. Something I have wanted to do for a long time. Not sure I did the canyon justice but I certainly enjoyed it. One item off the bucket list :-)
The "Zebra Slot Canyon" is one of the worthwhile destinations in the "Hole in the Rock Road" area near Escalante, part of the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument, best in later morning with indirect light.
At the beginning of November 2016 I was again in this canyon, but it was full of brackish, cold water, so I could not reach the photographically interesting area as in the picture.
Der "Zebra Slot Canyon" ist eines der lohnenswerten Ziele im Bereich der Hole in the Rock Road nahe Escalante, Teil des Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument.
Anfang November 2016 war ich erneut in diesem Canyon, der aber voll brackigem, kalten Wasser stand, so dass ich den fotografisch interessanten Bereich wie auf dem Bild nicht erreichen konnte.
Danke für deinen Besuch! Thanks for visiting!

Het Slot Haamstede is een oud kasteel dat ligt in het dorp Haamstede op Schouwen-Duiveland. De beroemdste bewoner van dit slot was Witte van Haamstede, een bastaardzoon van graaf Floris V.
In 1973 is het kasteel gerestaureerd, en in 1981 werd het, met kasteelbos en uitgestrekt duingebied, verkocht aan de Vereniging Natuurmonumenten.

Most people go to Vegas to have fun in the casinos. I tend to go to Vegas to visit family and explore the sights outside the city... whether it be Red Rock Canyon or Valley of Fire State Park depicted here.
Of course, the key is to go during the cooler months, when the temperatures aren't north of 100°F. Timing is everything. In this case, we hiked all around Valley of Fire the first week of April this year, and the following week the temperatures reached 99°F and higher. We camped with our dogs for the first time, and they enjoyed the hikes, but not the windy nights. Obviously, there was enough breeze during the day to kick up some sand in the slots, which made them a bit brighter and added to the aura. For my money, these slots pay out better than the ones on the strip any day of the week.

While on a trip to the Southwest I discovered a hidden slot canyon. As I walked through the winding cavern, light trickled down from above casting shadows and highlights on the walls and floor.
This is not Antelope Canyon in Page Arizona., this is just outside of Blanding Utah in the desert.
Thanks for stopping by
Slot canyon hiking can be one of the most interesting and challenging activities in red rock canyon country. Over eons of storms, slot canyons were formed by racing water and the tumble of boulders and other debris leaving interesting patterns and colors in the sandstone.
Navigating the large boulders, steep talus slopes, and deep pools requires special gear and skills to maneuver.
The most important skill is possession of a conservative mindset when it comes to when to hike down a slot canyon, and more importantly, when not to hike. Flashfloods can blossom into catastrophic events even when there is little or no precipitation in the immediate vicinity. Far away mountains and plateaus are carved with numerous rivulets, washes, and creeks that funnel rain water into many slot canyons.
My words here come from an experience of having to climb up out of an approaching flashflood and watching many flashfloods from a distance over the years. Stay safe!
We drove to Zion National Park for the day. The park was so crowded with people it seemed that everyone else had the same idea. It probably seemed even more crowded to us because we have spent so much time in remote places recently. We decided to leave but on the way out happened to snag a parking spot along the road. Then we dropped down into the wash which runs below the road. We hiked a few miles along the wash and ran into very few people, most of them stayed up near the road. We found several lovely slot canyons.

We traversed Wire Pass, a slot canyon near Kenab, Utah. Some sections of the canyon are very narrow; one can touch each side; other sections are wider. It's an exciting narrow canyon that is quite popular even though one has to travel over 8 miles down a heavily rutted and often slippery dirt road that can be impassable after rain in order to get to the trailhead.
