Slot Canyons

Lower Antelope and Cathedral canyons: These "slot canyons" are formed by water rushing through and cutting into the soft sandstone. They get flash floods in the area, and they (it's on Navajo land) do not allow access during any chance of rain... tourists have been drowned by unexpected flooding rushing through
