Travel: Willis Creek Slot Canyon, 2 of 2
2025-05-30 - Kanab, UT - Photo by Robert Ellis, robertelliswoodworking.com
Robert writes, "This slot canyon is very photogenic, with the scene changing every step of the way. I don't know enough about slot canyons to know when is the best time of the day to photograph them, but I was happy to have the Sun overhead and pouring into the canyon walls, creating contrasting colors along with differing lights and shadows.
In this photo the creek is all but dried up. On our visit, in Photo 1, you'll notice a tiny stream of water in the canyon floor. It should be noted if there's a chance of rain forecasted for the area-on any given day...slot canyons can become death traps. I observed some debris about 15 feet high up, lodged in the canyon walls; a reminder that it's not the place to be during a storm.
Fortunately this part of Utah is almost always sunny with bluebird sky days!" Comments | Permalink
