The rocky landscape of southwest America features many ravines; a remarkable form is the slot canyon.
A slotcanyon is a gap with high vertical walls, which are very close to each other. Most slot canyons can be found in dry areas, where occasional heavy flooding occurs. During such natural disasters, the water with stone and other debris rubs through the softer rock layers, creating the narrow gorges. Little Wild Horse Canyon is considered being one of the most beautiful slot canyons in the south of Utah.

Little Wild Horse Canyon was our first slot canyon, so we were quite impressed by its beauty and diversity. Sometimes with very narrow passages where we only just could walk straight on, but there were also wider stretches with trees and shrubs. Especially in the beginning of the canyon the walls were hanging over and some alcoves were created. We regularly came across small boulders that we had to climb over. Our walk was an experience we would not have liked to miss.
