That's a lot of camera to carry on your back!

Great idea Doug, especially since many of us are done with Antelope now that it's gotten so crowded and commercialized.
This isn't actually a canyon, taken behind an arch just outside Willis Canyon (which does have a nice slot).
The next shots are from the popular Peek-a-Boo/Spooky combo in The Escalante. Tough place to pass another party going the other way!

That's a cool pano, Jim! Very different from most slot shots.
I never thought about having to pass another party going the other way in a slot....

Nice image, Kyle. I have never been there but this image suggests that I should do that.

Great images, Jim. I love the pass other people images.

The colors in this are really nice. Just beautiful!!!
This is a really cool shot Monika!
And thanks for the reminder, I do have some slot canyon shots I took a few days ago just for this thread of Dougs. All I have to do now though is get back home and wash all of the salt water from Big Sur off of my face, and then I can start processing.

That is really pretty light, Monika.

As long as this thread has been revived, I'll post a couple from Buckskin Gulch. Buckskin may not be as photogenic as other slots, but it is the longest in the U.S. at roughly 12 miles and the walls get as high as 500 ft. It's a pretty impressive place to hike through.

500' walls? Wow - that 's a serious slot. I'd love to see more shots of that place.

Did you hike the entire length, Guy? I've only been in a little ways from Wire Pass.

There are stretches where it's quite obvious that cattle have passed through there. Not so nice in the heat of the day.....

I've only hiked about three miles in from its confluence with Wire Pass. The highest walls are at the confluence with Paria Canyon. I'd love to backpack there one day and spend some time in that area.
