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.
This is an old photo taken with a point & shoot camera. I was fortunate that the perfect amount of light penetrated through the top of the slot canyon. The light is even better for photographs at mid-day.
Antelope Canyon is a slot canyon in the American Southwest. It is located on Navajo land east of Page, Arizona. Antelope Canyon includes two separate, photogenic slot canyon sections, referred to individually as Upper Antelope Canyon or The Crack; and Antelope Canyon or The Corkscrew.
An image shot last year that I thought never came out "right". This new take is closer to my first impression.

A beautiful slot canyon can be found below the East Entrance Road in Zion National Park. We hiked this canyon because other areas in the park were too crowded. We wanted to limit our covid exposure since we hadn't been vaccinated yet. Luckily we saw very few people in this canyon.

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!

If you have never been, you have to go to the Antelope Slot Canyons in AZ. They are simply beautiful. This shot is mid-day in order to get the direct rays of light into the chamber, if there is any breeze at all outside you will get sand and other particulates drifting down into the canyon which provide the luminous for these shot. Upper Antelope is much easier to move around and decend into and through but I thought that Lower Antelope may have been the most beautiful images. More to come
Slot Zuylen is één van de oudste kastelen aan de Nederlandse rivier de Vecht. Midden 13e eeuw werd op deze plek een woontoren gebouwd in opdracht van de familie Van Zuylen; vandaar de naam van dit slot.
In de 15e eeuw werd de woontoren vernietigd toen de eigenaar Frank van Borssele in conflict kwam met de Utrechters. Er bleef ca. 100 jaar alleen een ruïne staan.
De nieuwe eigenaar Willem van Rennenberg liet in 1522 een imposant slot bouwen. In 1530 volgde het poortgebouw.
In de 17e eeuw kwam het slot in bezit van Adam van Lockhorst en daarna in bezit van de familie van Reede.
Vervolgens bleef het slot tot 1952 ononderbroken in eigendom van het geslacht Van Tuyll van Serooskerken. Hier lag het huwelijk tussen Hendrik Jacob van Tuyll van Serooskerken en Anna Elisabeth van Reede aan ten grondslag.
Rijksmonument 519611, onderdeel van complexnummer 519610
Slot Zuylen is one of the oldest castles on the Dutch river Vecht. In the mid-13th century, a residential tower was built on this site by order of the Van Zuylen family; hence the name of this lock.
In the 15th century, the residential tower was destroyed when the owner Frank van Borssele came into conflict with the people of Utrecht. Only a ruin remained for about 100 years.
The new owner Willem van Rennenberg had an imposing castle built in 1522. The gatehouse followed in 1530.
In the 17th century, the castle came into the possession of Adam van Lockhorst and then into the possession of the van Reede family.
The castle then remained uninterruptedly owned by the Van Tuyll van Serooskerken family until 1952. This was based on the marriage between Hendrik Jacob van Tuyll van Serooskerken and Anna Elisabeth van Reede.
A beautiful place the canyons are amazing This is out of my comfort zone ! but having a great time in Arizona.
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
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.

Macro Mondays 'holes' theme.
I took several different photos for this week's 'holes' theme, then dithered about which one to upload, finally deciding on this one of a dark grey plastic slotted serving spoon. It's hangs on a rack and is rarely used as you can tell by the dreaded macro dust!
The image measures 1.25" in width
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.
