Canyons of Arizona - Jun '06

Arizona canyons are famous.
But, besides Grand Canyon, one can find unique and magnificent slot canyons.
Antelope Canyon, one of the most famous of the slot canyons, is located in Arizona near Page, on the Navajo reservation.
The Buckskin Gulch is the longest and deepest slot canyon in the southwest United States and may very well be the longest in the world.
As such it is one of the premier destinations for slot canyon hikers, and receives a high amount of foot traffic. With a distance of 20 miles (32 km), hiking this canyon in one day is do-able but not easy.

    Storms more than 50 miles (80 km) away can send hundred foot high walls of water down the narrow canyons and hikers have been killed in such events.
    One can never predict what the last flood might have taken away or left behind. According to BLM statistics there are about 8 flash floods a year, on the average, in Paria Canyon and its tributaries. About a third of the floods occur during the month of August, so if you are planning a trip in late summer you should be especially cautious. Flash flood danger is lowest during the months of April, May, and June.
    Unbelievable sceneries
