摘要:Slot canyons are natural sculptures that one can walk through, immersed in ever-changing forms, colors, and
light. Previous articles have shown Water Holes Canyon [1] and Upper and Lower Antelope Canyons [2], Navajo
sandstone canyons that drain into Glen Canyon in northeastern Arizona. In this article, images from three moreremote
slot canyons are shown. Buckskin Gulch is a deep canyon over ten miles in length, with numerous narrow
sections. Wire Pass is a side canyon to Buckskin Gulch, which drains into Paria Canyon, which joins the Colorrado
River below Glen Canyon. Wire Pass and Buckskin Gulch lie on the Arizona-Utah border, within the Paria
Canyon / Vermillion Cliffs Wilderness Area, managed by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. The photographs
in this article were taken with an Olympus FE-4030 digital camera or a Minolta X-700 35-mm film camera.
