Captured near the beginning of the tour, the canyon quickly widens into huge galleries before narrowing again into a traditional slot canyon. Was it crowded? Absolutely. Was it worth it? I think so

Silent and seemingly endless; winter envelops everything with an indelible sense of peace in Northern BC. Taken in a remote section of the upper Fraser, in the Fraser-Fort George Region, British Columbia, Canada.

Upper Antelope Canyon
These canyons are always so red with highlights in yellow, so I converted it to B&W then added red in the shadow and blue to the highlights to get this effect.
A few days in the Lake District last week, met up with Paul Thompson when heading up to upper Aira Force!
Last waterfall of the hike that's worth posting. We missed it on the first pass and had to drive back to get it on this trip. The rule says if we don't finish the hike we have to go back and we wanted to finish... not that we'd mind going back.

On the plane ride to Portland we sat next to a guy who lived in Sandia Park, right up the road from us. He raved "You've gotta try Silver Falls. Ten waterfalls in a single hike!" He really sold it, to the point of pulling out his phone and showing us pictures.
With that much enthusiasm, how could we resist?
Descriptions vary as to the trail length: 6.9, 7.2, 8.7 or 9 miles, but in those miles are 10 waterfalls, all different and each would be worthy of a hike of its own. Put all 10 on one hike and you've got a winner.

Yup. I finally gave in and took a tour of Upper Antelope Canyon. And it was better than expected. Sure, it was crowded. But the tour guides do a reasonably good job of keeping groups together, allowing everyone to quickly shoot a section of the canyon as soon as the coast is clear
The Upper Tahquamenon Falls is over 200' wide and 48' high. Over 50,000 gallons of water spill over this incredible waterfall per second. Located in Paradise, Michigan. Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
Road that is...Hamilton has "upper" street names, meaning they are on an escarpment. ;)

Upper Antelope Canyon- The purple hues of the stone complemented by the backlight of orange hues. These edges are so fascinating.

Another view of this slot canyon, on Navaho land near Page Arizona. I liked a lot of these. If you move 6 inches, or turn 5 degrees in any direction you have a different set of lines, curves and tones.
From Buckden Rake. The crumbling wall here indicates an ancient settlement, possibly around 2000 yrs old. The natural stones were used to create these strongholds above the valley floor. The tiny village of Hubberholme is in the valley.
The hills were glaciated in the last ice age, about 17000 years ago. Since the ice retreated, the hills were covered in birch and later oak, but humans cleared the trees for fuel and pasture over thousands of years. Grass and moss replaced the trees, and the climate, which is almost arctic/alpine, ensured that trees found it difficult to grow in the now acid soils. Since then humans have grazed sheep on the hills (fells) which chew any saplings which may germinate. There are moves to reforest some areas, but the weather is harsh and the soil is poor, so the hills will remain open and wild. Most people like it this way...the open hills have long been a source of recreation and inspiration for all who visit. Many people outside the North of England don't realise that there is a vast wilderness in this part of the world and that much of northern England is indeed wild and unspoilt.
As one of Mount Buffalo's best drops, Upper Rollason Falls is only a short walk from the carpark and has the clearest water I have ever seen! Stay tuned as i post more photos from my recent trip to Mount Buffalo National Park in Victoria's north east.
