    Don't think I'd be hiking a closed canyon vs an open canyon. LOL. Cool slot canyon hike. Definitely want to watch the horizon for rain doing these trails. They are amazing to see and mind blowing how they have formed over the years. Nice adventure for you two. Have a great day.

      Ha ha...yes, that would not be good. We always check the weather prior to hiking in these types of areas. NO rain in the forecast that day, so turned out to be a fun hike with no worries. Thanks for watching!

    Wow Karen and Shannon,
    Another gorgeous hike. The landscape is something I have never seen in NC.
    Weathering..eroding...here it is. The canyon is standing here proudly.
    I bet the canyon changes their faces as the sun hit the walls
    I guess this one is adding to on my bucket list. It seems I really need a good grips of comfort shoes.
    I love this image 7:29 so much time passed to form this rock formation.
    I am speechless as I hike along with YOU. wow....I thank YOU.

      So interesting how the cacti and plant life survive here. Pretty harsh , even on colder days because it is so dry and the sun is so intense. Yes, as the sun moves the shadows and light shift. Pretty cool to see! Thanks for watching!

    Just as well it was so dry walking in that slot canyon, I would not want to be down there is a flash flood but man the walls looked amazing and so high as well. Looked a real nice flat walk too, (well, until the drop off) maybe just as well with a bad knee, cheers Alan

      We were pretty sure we would not be dealing with any flash floods. Always a good idea to check weather before doing these types of hikes! Thanks for watching!

    Gorgeous canyon! I love places like this as there's so many great angles. Very fun to explore and great to get out of the heat, too.

    It would be interesting to see those slot canyons when they are full of water!

      And a little scary...I don't think I would be hiking these if rain was in the forecast. These canyons can fill up fast. Thanks for watching!

    Great shot of you two walking into the slot canyon. That looked fun to walk through, but those drop offs can get a bit hairy. Beautiful hike.

    • @wanderingoutyonder

      Thanks ! Part of the fun of the videos, creating fun shots . Pretty area, but you do have to pay attention to the drop offs. Thanks for watching!
