“Overhanging Canyon Narrows” — Tall cliffs overhang a section of winding canyon narrows, Death Valley.

I make (at least) one annual photography trip to Death Valley National Park, and I’ve been doing so for something like two decades. My favorite time to visit is in the winter. This year’s trip was during the final days of February — the calendar said winter but a heat wave made it feel more like summer, with temperatures up to ninety degrees. Many areas of the park were inaccessible due to washed out roads and to construction, so I visited a few familiar places and we nt to a couple of new ones…continues: gdanmitchell.com/2025/03/03/ov

Into the slot canyon (and not the one you think).

Slot canyons are some of the most magical places in the desert. My first experience in one was a tour of Antelope Canyon in 2014. Since then, I've tried to seek out lesser-known canyons where I can experience these places without the crowds. While this canyon, among the other's I've visited, can easily be found - I don't disclose their name or location.

I visited this particular canyon in 2018, which provided some of my favorite photos of a slot canyon to date.

The colorful sandstone walls of a slot canyon. The waves of sandstone taper to a sandy base providing access to this canyon. Under the dim light of the canyon, the walls take on shades of red, pink, and purple and cast shadows along the side of the corridor.

My camera shoots fascists

Took a random, wandering hike up the back side of Black Point, a volcanic geological formation next to Mono Lake. Stumbled across some cool slot canyons. When I drove around to the regular Black Point trailhead parking area, the info kiosk had a vague sign explaining how to find them. There are cool calcium deposits on the sides of some of them and I decided I needed a new profile picture.

I think I may stay here till dark and see if I can get some Milky Way photos over the lake before the moon comes up.

A narrow slot canyon about three feet wide and 30 feet deep with gray sculpted, layered walls and a gray, sandy floor.
White, bulbous calcium deposits on a stone wall inside a slot canyon. They sort of look like various sized white puffball mushrooms, the size of walnuts or smaller. My hand is reaching into the frame to pinch one of them to show scale.

The Slot

I had the chance to visit Anza-Borrego state park in Southern California recently.
The first day there was certainly the nicest and we were able get in a couple of hikes. Our favorite hike is simply known as "The Slot"
The Slot is a considered an easy hike and it isn't bad if you start early enough to avoid the heat. See the full image here: fineartamerica.com/featured/th #TheSlot #BillGallagherPhotography #Anza-BorregaStatePark #SlotCanyon #BuyIntoArt #AYearForArt #Nature #Wilderness

The Slot This is an image of a slot canyon located in Anza-Borrega State Park in Southern California. The Slot was created by rain runoff in the desert. The walls of the canyon zig, zag, and twist in a narrow passage. The color of the canyon walls are a light brown sandstone.
