Texas Slot Canyon
Here is one from Big Bend in April. This one is from Big Bend Ranch State Park of the narrow Closed Canyon. It reminds me something you would se in Utah.

Nice Darren, I did not realize there are slot canyons in Big Bend. This looks like the narrows in Zion without any water.

Nice color on the canyon wall. I assume the variation in color is because of reflected light hitting the wall on the LHS and the wall in the RHS is in shadow?

It is amazing how many hidden treasure's there are out there even after all the time people have tramped around this planet. One thing is for sure, water has been here before and with good force.

Yes the left wall is getting reflected light. You might also notice how pale gray the bottom rocks are from the water when it flood

s. . It is a neat place and one I make a regular visit to when in Big Bend.

I like the simplicity of the ponded water, but would also like to see it when there was a little movement. Great find, Darren!

Darren,
I would like to see this in a psudo-HDR.
