| Slot Canyons are actually
drains for rainwater after storms. The wide wash in this image
carries runoff from storms as far as twenty miles away. The force
of the water grinds the soft Navajo sandstone and creates chasms in the
earth.
Lower Antelope Canyon is such a chasm. This particular slot canyon is unusual since it lies below the surface. You can see the top of the slot canyon between us. A series of steel ladders built by the Navajos takes you 80 feet down inside the slot canyon to witness incredible images like the ones included in the "Escape to New York" and "Slot Canyons" pages. |
