Peek-A-Boo Canyon

This morning I got up at the crack of dawn to join a small group of people and explored a nearby slot canyon. I’ve hiked slot canyons before but have never been able to just take my time and enjoy the canyon and take lots of photos. Today I got that chance. Slot canyons are formed by fast moving water carrying sediment, boulders and frequently fallen trees and other vegetation. This is known as a debries flow. This mixture is very abrasive but even with that it takes thousands of years for these canyons to form. In several places during our hike my shoulders touched both walls of the canyon at the same time. Those of you who know me know that I’m not a big person. This gives you an idea as to how narrow this canyon is in places.
