A truly unique spot, this little canyon is one of the most photographed places is the US. In the summer when the sun is at it's highest, a beam of light is cast on the canyon floor. Unfortunately I was about a month late in the year to witness this event. However, without the extreme contrast created by sunlight, it allowed the colors to play a greater role. It's amazing what emotions places like this evoke-- a symphony of colors, shapes and lines along with the tranquility, the isolation of the location-- it felt like a dream. Also, the pure natural force required to carve these canyons over many thousands of years, evokes a feeling of drama and respect for nature. This will definitely be a regular stop in future travels out west.
