I want to thank my friend and main hiking, canyoneering and climbing partner, Bo Beck, for all his help in creating this guide for Zion National Park and the surrounding areas and my friend Shane Burrows for taking me canyoneering with him so often.

Photographing Zion's Vertical World

From Zion's magnificent vertical desert which rises above the canyon floor to the hidden vertical world made up of cracks, canyons, crevices, slot canyons and fractures, there is no grander place in all the world for photography. The dark twisted slot canyons of Zion National Park are some of the most exquisite in the entire world. Canyoneers travel from all over the planet to make their way through the towering stone walls of Zion's canyons. Through eons, torrents of wind and water have formed and carved sinewy curved paths in the soft sandstone of Southern Utah. Photographing slot canyons is a whole new world for most photographers and Zion has been generously endowed with its share of slots. Photos taken in Zion's slot canyons are few and far between since the slots are often filled with water that requires swimming and many require taking gear down on ropes into the bowels of Zion's hidden treasures. Let us take you on a photo tour of Zion National Park's Slot Canyons.

Zion National Park - UTAH!

Zion National Park waterfall

The knowledge that refuge is available, when and if needed, makes the silent inferno of the desert more easily bearable. Mountains complement desert as desert complements city, as wilderness complements and completes civilization.
