Many of us love to travel long distances to see the amazing things of the world and yet rarely take the same time to appreciate what’s right around us, and well, I’m no different. But Arizona has more than its fair share of mind-blowing landscapes and natural wonders, so last week I took a trip to take some of them in. Having lived in the desert for most of my life, I don’t usually appreciate the landscape as much as someone seeing the for the first time, but I do have to say that the Southwest holds some gems that were stunning even to me.
When most people think of canyons around here, the Grand Canyon is usually what comes to mind. And if you know me or have read this blog you know that I’ve had my encounters with the Grand Canyon. But slot canyons are a different experience entirely. Narrow slots carved deep into the rock by flash floods and flowing rainwater, they boast a beauty all their own.
As promised, here are some images from the trip. I don’t know what else to say other than yes, it really is this gorgeous.
