Cool looking formation - a photo on Flickriver

            In March 2018, my wife and I decided to take a brief tour through the American Southwest, hitting, Utah, Arizona, and Nevada. We visited a fair number of National and State parks but the highlight of our tour was Waterhole Canyon. We didn't intend to go there; I wanted to go to Antelope Canyons but the owners (the Navajo Nation) really jacked up the prices (I think it was $50/person) and forced you to stay with a group. They also muddled the photography permit process and made it very inconvenient, illogical, and pricey. Because of this we opted for Waterhole Canyon. Getting a permit for this area was also a challenge - mostly finding the little shack. Once we got the permit we were happy hikers.

We pretty much had the canyon to ourselves. At several points we were tempted to turn around but we decided to go on for a few more minutes. Good choice. The canyon has some wide open spaces and  then narrows to very tight spaces. It was amazing to see the changes in rock color based on the lighting. I think we spent about three full hours exploring and taking a bunch of photos.

PS - it seems like the Canyon is now private property and you need to take a guided tour. I'm glad we hit it when we did.
