) The closer we come to the confluence with Buckskin Gulch, the narrower the canyon is. Here the water is already more than knee-deep. |
) Matt, a tall guy, is dwarfed by the huge canyon walls and is barely visible in the background. |
) Just abouve the confluence with Buckskin Gulch, the whole Paria Canyon is filled with water. Note the log 15 feet above the ground between the canyon walls. |
) The mouth of Buckskin Gulch - an incredible place, far away from any traces of civilization. |
) Some "Indian Ruins" carved into the dried mud by bored hikers ... |
) The deeper we go into Buckskin Gulch, the darker it gets. Only a little bit of bluish light reaches the canyon bottom. |
) A narrow stretch of muddy quicksand - or "quickmud" - which was the only portion of the canyon that I considered as potentially dangerous. |
) A big hall of stone, where the water during a flood may collect before it runs into the following narrower part. |
) There are many ways to get stuck between the canyon walls of Buckskin Gulch. (Photo © 2000 Matt Chamberlain) |
) An interesting rock formation in Buckskin Gulch. |
) Sometimes big boulders get stuck between the canyon walls, and hikers have to squeeze below or climb over them ... the dark shadow below the boulder is Matt. |
