Amazing slot formations a remote and seldom visited canyon in the Robbers Roost region - similar to the famous and oft-photographed Antelope Canyon, but without the crowds.  I was all by myself down here, spending most of the day lost in a daydream, wandering up and down the canyon and photographing the interesting formations.

As most photographers who have been in slot canyons know, the best time to photograph them is during the 3-4 hours around midday on a clear sunny day, when the sunlight filters in and bounces around in the deep narrow slots, illuminating the walls with otherworldly glowing hues.  As the sun moves through the sky, the bounce light changes dramatically in the slots, sometimes in a matter of minutes.  This allows for hours of fun finding photos in canyons like this.

I also have a version of this photo without the hiker, if you're interested.
