Two people stand inside—one capturing a photo of the other—framing the natural beauty of the canyon. The scene highlights the dramatic contrast between shadowed rock formations and bright sunlight above, emphasizing the canyon's depth and textures.

We did it! 5 days, 4 nights, 45ish miles, one dunk in a muddy river, and the time of our lives. #pariacanyon #buckskingulch #backpacking #slotcanyon

Looking through a natural tunnel that dwarfs my hiking companions

We stepped into Antelope Canyon just as the sun hit its prime angle, with shadows shifting from red to violet to gold.

While it’s incredibly photogenic, it felt more like a place to experience than to capture.

A view of the smooth, swirling sandstone walls inside Antelope Canyon in Arizona. The rock formations display rich hues of orange, brown, and mauve. Sunlight filters in from above and casts an ethereal glow, highlighting soft curves and striations. A faint blue tint appears where the light hits the rock at certain angles, creating a surreal, painterly effect.

A person is seen walking through a narrow canyon with towering, rugged rock walls on either side. The canyon walls feature layers and textures formed by natural erosion, showcasing light brown and beige hues. Above, the sky is a bright, clear blue, contrasting vividly with the earthy tones of the rock. The individual in the scene is dressed in a dark outfit, wearing a cap and carrying a backpack, and is walking away from the camera, moving deeper into the canyon.

“Overhanging Canyon Narrows” — Tall cliffs overhang a section of winding canyon narrows, Death Valley.

I make (at least) one annual photography trip to Death Valley National Park, and I’ve been doing so for something like two decades. My favorite time to visit is in the winter. This year’s trip was during the final days of February — the calendar said winter but a heat wave made it feel more like summer, with temperatures up to ninety degrees. Many areas of the park were inaccessible due to washed out roads and to construction, so I visited a few familiar places and we nt to a couple of new ones…continues: https://gdanmitchell.com/2025/03/03/overhanging-canyon-narrows/

A view looking into Singing Canyon. Red ocher, brown, and even purple highlight the walls of this slot canyon. There is a young man at the bottom of the picture dwarfed by the over 80-foot walls all in front of him.

Visiting Antelope Canyon - a long-time bucket list item of mine - after staying at the NavajoLand Hotel in Tuba City was just incredible! #NavajoLandHotel #DixiesLACT #LowerAntelopeCanyon #Arizona #NavajoLand #NavajoNation #TubaTradingPost #DiscoverArizona #ExploreArizona #VisitArizona #TravelUSA #AntelopeCanyon #SlotCanyon #ScenicHikes #AntelopeCanyonExperience #CanyonVibes #TravelGoals #TravelVibes #ExploreTheWorld #TravelInspiration #CanyonColors #SouthwestBeauty…

Into the slot canyon (and not the one you think).

Slot canyons are some of the most magical places in the desert. My first experience in one was a tour of Antelope Canyon in 2014. Since then, I've tried to seek out lesser-known canyons where I can experience these places without the crowds. While this canyon, among the other's I've visited, can easily be found - I don't disclose their name or location.

I visited this particular canyon in 2018, which provided some of my favorite photos of a slot canyon to date.

The colorful sandstone walls of a slot canyon. The waves of sandstone taper to a sandy base providing access to this canyon. Under the dim light of the canyon, the walls take on shades of red, pink, and purple and cast shadows along the side of the corridor.

"For Time and Scale"

Southwest Utah is my most favorite places in the United States for all matter of things; photography; hiking; camping; slot canyons.

This selection of photos shows off some of the true scale you can encounter throughout the area, like the massive sheer walls at Grand Wash and Capitol Reef National Reef, the endless flow of time seen with the ancient juniper time; the movement of rock and stone in slot canyons; and the dazzling array of colors during a desert sunset.

Wire Pass to Buckskin Gulch, Part Three.

Our final hike of 2024. What a great way to end the year!

Such an exciting but odd feeling to be in a narrow, tall slot canyon for so long. Photos look warm, but it was 41 degrees and felt even cooler in the canyon; especially when we had to wade through 6 or 7 puddles of freezing cold water up to my thighs, barefoot! Top 5 hike of 2024 for me.
