Just klick on the thumbnails to get bigger versions of the images. These are

Another image showing the incredibly huge canyon walls around (or better above)
us.

A photo showing the darkness in Buckskin Gulch, made with a little pocket
tripod and an exposure time of two seconds.

Meeting the mud in Buckskin Gulch. At least we can walk on it here.

The only light we get at the canyon bottom is that reflected by the walls
... and that's not much.
|

Here the hiker has to crawl below the boulder that got stuck between the
canyon walls - and at the same he may want to stay dry ...
|

In some narrow, wet parts of Buckskin Gulch it is as dark as in a cave.
Here Matt is entering this part ...

... and I'm following shortly after.

We finally made it through these dark passages and found a campsite for
the second night. This spot was the only one available within two or
three miles.
|

In the evening we were walking through pools - and in the morning some
of them are frozen.
|

Another typical view of Buckskin Gulch.
|

The sunlight filters through the canyon, making the canyon walls
yellow or red and the canyon bottom blue.
|

After a few miles in a dark, narrow portion of the canyon, it opens up
and provides some space even for trees.
