|
| I went to the Escalante mainly to look for slot canyons. This is one I found. Booker Canyon |
|
|
| It can't be compared to Antelope but it's rather unique nevertheless |

June 2009 and I just came back from another trip to Staircase Escalante NM where I visited several more slots along with the Wave.
|
|
| First I visited Wirepass Canyon |
 |
| Wirepass runs into Buckskin Gulch the longest slot in the world, 11 miles long. |
 |
| That pool was about knee deep and was as far as I went in Buckskin. |
 |
|
I was lucky and was drawn the second day for a permit to visit The Wave. These are some of the Coyote Buttes on the way to The Wave |
 |
| It certainly is distinctive. |
 |
 |
| This was just above The Wave. |
 |
| This is part of The Second Wave, which is notably different but beautiful |
 |
| Taken from above, a part of The Wave. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| On the way back the scenery didn't fail to inspire. |
 |
| On the next day I decided to find some Toadstools. |
 |
 |
 |
| I'm totally in love with this canyon country. |
