    Canyon X

    Went back to Arizona the week before last for a job, ended up staying an extra 4 days as a mini vacation and hit some tourist/photo spots on my list. One of which being a slot canyon right outside Page AZ. Incredibly beautiful country up there by the way, the whole region could be in my top 3 US regions to visit currently. Been out twice in 2 months and I still feel like I have places I want to go see in Arizona alone.

    This is Canyon X, it's part of the same drainage as the famous Upper and Lower Antelope canyons but it's much less crowded or well known. Like the other canyons, it's owned by Navajo families so you must go through a service and have a guide to enter the canyon. I did their photography tour which gave me about 2.5 hours in the canyon. Turns out I was the only one on the photography tour that day so the guide pretty much left me to my own devices for the entire time, it was phenomenal and well worth the price. Super unique place to visit, and can be challenging to shoot with all of the shadows and light depending where you stand. Anyway, here are a few shots I got in Canyon X, hope you enjoy!

    Amazing! You're giving me the itch to go back to the region. It's been a long time, but the friends I hang out with now have no sense of adventure

      Super nice Matt, I did a southwest tour with a couple folks from the camera club who put together a trip and we shot one of the slot canyons near Arizona in 2019 and locations in surrounding states. It was an amazing trip and I understand wanting to go back there.

        I been at the Antelope canyons and have similar photos, it's amazing. I have friends in Sedona with an open invitation to visit so we have been there 4 or 5 times over the years. Can't Wait to go again.

          Beautiful place and, as always, wonderful photos! Just think of how much time has passed to carve that out.
