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.

    Additionally, the lack of sun-light in the canyon can make it much colder than the surrounding exposed desert. At one point along the route, there is a 15-foot (4.6 m) drop-off that usually has rope, but it is a good idea to bring at least 30 feet (9.1 m) of rope to navigate some of the pour-offs.
    The canyon was created by water, and water continues to shape it and change its character.
    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.
