I've spent the past week traveling around Utah. I had pretty good conditions...quite a bit of snow & ice around. Here's a link to some more pics:

Nice shots. I especially like the fourth one down, below the Fisher Towers shot. Is that ice filling the slot? The detail shots are sweet, too.

I love the iced slot!

Love #4 as well. Looks familiar, but I'm pretty sure it isn't a slot I've been in before.

yeah, that iced slot is really nice! seems like you could take a runnnig start and slide on your butt all the way down!
great photos, looks like a very productive trip, i am jealous!

Nice light in the slot. It was barely a trickle the last time I was there.

Very inspiring, Grant. Can't wait for our (RichieV and I) trip in a couple of weeks! I really like the snowy reflection and the iced slot is pretty cool! Which canyon is that? :jump:

Looks an awful lot like part of Little Wild Horse, but it seems like the wrong color, and I don't remember the overhanging "roof", so I'm guessing it's not.

Nice collection of images! I really like the pano and the one above.

The icy slot canyon is great. Looks like the narrows on Willis Creek narrows. The ice floating in the Colorado River at Fisheer Towers is nice also. Well done. :toast:

Awesome shots. Good to see you made it up into Cathedral Valley. I also really like that ice slot photo. Very unique.

Nice work Mr. Collier! I particularly enjoy the ice/reflection abstract.

Thanks for the comments. The icy slot canyon was definitely the most interesting place I visited. You probably could slip-slide all the way down and I almost did, though not intentionally :eek:. But I managed to stay upright in my tractionless tennis shoes. I found another ice-filled canyon but it was much wider and not very photogenic...but still cool. Doug's got the location right. This canyon is listed in Photographing the Southwest - Utah edition. I doubt the ice will remain too much longer, as things are starting to warm up a bit after a long cold spell.
