I have had never heard about a slot canyon before I moved to California. I have been to what they call a glen many times, especially the Watkins Glen as well as many less famous ones in my home state in India. As soon as we moved to LA, I started planning for a Grand Canyon trip and guess which image popped up immediately, A stunning shot of Antelope Canyon in Page, AZ. Some of the pics I took there during my three trips there have been some of the most famous pictures in my portfolio.
But while visiting antelope canyon initially just resulted in me adding about 50 odd images of one of the well-documented locations on the planet, it also triggered a fascination for slot canyons. Since then my wife and I would always look for slot canyons whenever we visit a new location. So, when we planned our trip to the Valley of Fire State Park near Las Vegas Nevada, we were pretty stocked to visit pastel/pink canyon.
I was expecting a faded red color canyon because of the name and the color of the Navajo sandstones that dominate the park landscape but what we saw during our walk through the short canyon was a display of every shade of the pastel pink color in the universe. It’s almost as if the water is an artist and here it did a demo in pastel pink to show off. One of the most stunning slot canyons we have visited so far.
