USA - Utah, Wire Pass Slot Canyon

USA - Utah, Wire Pass Slot Canyon
Wire Pass Slot Canyon starts at a parking lot, accessible from US 89 though a 13 km’s long quite bumpy dirt road. The first km’s the trail is following the meandering Coyote Wash with low red coloured rocks of Navajo Sandstone. Slowly but surely the rocks become higher and closer to each other. Before we did realize we were in the Wire Pass Slot Canyon, a very impressive slot canyon. Sometimes just one meter wide and a couple of times we saw tree trunks which were trapped between the rock walls. At one point we could hardly get any further through a large boulder that almost blocked the trail.

After about 700 meters the canyon became wider and culminated in a large open space (main image) with huge rock walls, which on one side were beautifully illuminated by the sun. The cliffs are marked with several big horn sheep petroglyphs.

The Wire Pass Slot Canyon ends here at the confluence with the Buckskin Gulch, the longest slot canyon of the USA.

Wonderful light and colours. The shapes and textures in the rocks are just out of this world. I especially like the main image as it shows the greatest amount of colour and detail and the woman in the shot gives a fantastic sense of scale.

I've seen a number of images online of these canyons in Utah and yours are up there with the best. Superb work Jaap..!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE!! How fantastic. Slot canyons are on our bucket list...how could they not be? Your photography here really shows the incredible beauty of this place...which...I've never heard of! I'm so happy to realize that there are lots of slot canyons so when Steve and I actually get to one it's hopefully not going to be buried in people. :D

Loved the description of your adventure...sounds like my cup of tea!
