narrow

somewhere in Utah...
 in a slot canyon looking up



A stream runs through it.  



Yes, we did climb up here. (But this is not us.)  a short, but tricky ascent.  We are wearing hiking sandals and the water is oh so cold!


 
Here we are, the four of us.  (I'm on the right.)



beautiful Kanarra Creek just before arriving at the slot canyon

NOTE:  Kanarra Creek runs through a beautiful canyon west of the northern part of Zion National Park.

  15. I was in Zion Nat. Park too, to paint this summer:) Luckily it was not that narrow on the spot I stood!

  16. Cool spot! It is certainly narrow. THe only time I've been to Utah was a brief layover in the Salt Lake City airport in approximately 1990.

  23. Wow.

    These narrow canyons are quite nifty!

    I would like to explore these but I wonder if they might give me claustrophobia!

    Arizona Highways Magazines often has really striking pictures showcasing this neat natural wonder.

    Thank you for linking.

    A+
