Un-named slot canyon near Long Canyon.
A slot canyon is deeper than it is wide. They can be fun to photograph due to the light reflections. They are nice to explore in the middle of a hot day, offering shade and cooler temperatures. I hiked in several slot canyons on this trip. Click on each photo for larger versions.
Entrance to another unnamed slot canyon joining Long Canyon.
This slot canyon has cottonwood trees growing near the entrance.
