The Story Behind the Shot

I'd driven halfway across the country to meet friends for a Utah adventure, but I had no idea what I was signing up for when they mentioned visiting a slot canyon. The catch? You had to rappel in – no easy hiking route, just you, a rope, and a leap of faith into the unknown.

As a rappelling rookie, I started easy in the upper canyon, practicing the technique on sloped walls. But once you commit to this particular slot canyon, there's no turning back. Halfway through came the real test: a 150-foot rappel into narrow, towering walls that seemed to swallow you whole. Backing over that edge was terrifying, but as I descended, refusing to look down, the views intensified with every foot. The canyon walls filtered the light into these incredible brilliant oranges, creating a natural gallery carved by millions of years.

When my feet finally touched the soft sand at the bottom, I stood sandwiched between those narrow walls and looked up to see this breathtaking view – brilliant oranges framing a sliver of blue Utah sky. This was the slot canyon shot I'd dreamed of capturing for years, earned through one of the scariest adventures I'd ever braved.
