Slot Canyons
 |
You seen one you seen 'em all-except they are so beautiful! |

Slot Canyons are interesting erosion development. They are formed when
large amounts of water push through an area that doesn't erode very well, so the
erosion takes place on the bottom and not the sides.

red color) |
The redder and pinker color is due to the layer of

abstract lines of art.

Some you swear are fake, but none are.

At openings and widenings comes great colors.
|

Some erode in the most peculiar ways.
