17th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Peek-a-Boo Canyon in Escalante, Utah.

This was my first time in a slot canyon- I was TERRIFIED. My good friend Greg was more experienced than I was in these matters, so he took the lead and helped me find my way through this exciting obstacle. I couldn't believe my eyes as I watched the canyon walls shape shift and provide such interesting patterns and textures. I took this photo of Greg while we were adventuring through.
