Great shots. I love that area.

#2 really captures what escalante is all about. Nice job.

Was it Bill Clinton that designated Escalante as a National recreation area?

Really nice photos. I couldn’t look at some for long - claustrophobia is all the mind, but it is very real there. Gave me the creeps just seeing anyone in there. Fascinating area well shot. Most of it looks like fun...:lol:

Enjoyed your photos, as I also love that area. Hopefully, will get to spend more time there in the future.

Very nice! I had to actually stare at the first one for about 30 seconds before i read the line below it, and found out it was reflections. ;)

LOL. And Spooky was not the narrowest of the slots. It was so narrow in the Egypt 3 slot there was one portion I could not get through. I had to back out, go around and drop back in to meet my wife who did make it. And I am not very big.

It was a great trip. I hope to get back there some day soon. Thanks for all the comments.
