Gordon,
Take a look at my pics from Arizona & Utah. I think the caves you show in your post is from Arizona. If so its a few hours away from Bryce Canyon.

Well, lower antelope would be out. It may seem like a silly question but can your chair handle sand? If so you could enter the beginning part of upper antelope canyon.

Haven't heard back from jimni2001 yet so maybe you can help.
Been thinking of taking a trip across country next summer and I am in a wheelchair being paralyzed from an accident. Would you by any chance know first hand if any of the slot canyons are wheelchair accessible? I will be traveling alone.

I have no idea why this happens. I type the entire width of the space that we have to type so it's not like I'm only typing half way across the area that we have to type.
I have a question for you, also. When you are including a message that you are responding to, why do you include the entire message instead of editing it to only show a few lines? I realize that you're not the only one who does this.
Cheers!

Perhaps you are talking about the slot canyons at Page AZ on the Navajo Reservations. Awesome place. This month "Outdoor Photography" cover has a photograph and a story inside the magazine about the slot canyons.
I recommend a guide (must have a Navajo guide) either a group or a private photographer guide. It is worth it. With a group, the people get in your pictures.
Study before you go to get the best information.

Actually, I often edit the previous post. In your case, I left it there to reference my question. It's strange that your message above is full width.
You might not have noticed, but Admin recently changed the way Quoted messages are handled. It used to be that all of the responses were included, and there would be half a dozen separate responses included in one response. Now, only the previous post is included - much better.

I went to Bryce some years ago and went wild photographing it, the forms changed every 15 minutes as the sun changed position-it was incredible. I hiked down into the canyon along the trails. I do not remember anything about caves, the structures there were formed when hard surfaces were on top of softer surfaces, the soft ones wore away underneath, leaving the spires (I remember seeing a demonstration of putting hard stones on top of soft clay. Then water was sprinkled over it and the clay was removed but under the stones it remained, forming a column structure). Some are very close together and when photographed from the right angle appear to be caves. "Wall Street" was a good example, the spires were so close together a photograph would show only walls, no sky, looking like a cave. There very well may be caves there, I could be wrong. I would like to see one, I am sure it would be amazing, but a cave implies a different type of geologic process than what formed the canyon. Prove me wrong, I would be fascinated.

Glad to see someone else feels that way. I always felt the oddball when I explained that I saw the Grand Canyon and Zion but Bryce was the one that knocked my socks off.

No - chair can't go thru sand but I have a friend in on too and she goes to Va Beach every year and they have chairs with big rubber tires for rent so she can get out on the beach. Have to call antelope canyon tours and see if they have them too. Hope so.

Thank you - I will be calling them. Va Beach has chairs with big rubber tires on them to rent out - I have a friend in a wheelchair too that uses them when she goes there - hope Antelope Canyon tours has the same. Thanks for replying.

My wife and I are going to be on vacation next week in this area. We plan one day at the Grand Canyon, 2 in Pace and 5 in Cedar City UT so we can explore Zion and Bryce. Any suggestions or must see recommendations.
Got time for Monument Valley?

No reason why you would have heard about Slot Canyons We are a,ways learning new things. I am sure there is plenty in this world that I dont know and much of it I probably never will. Life is a learning experience!
A Slot on the ground where water has worn away the ground below
The "slot" lets in light which can produce a beam or just bounce around on the rocks below creating beatiful effects

Some "Slots" involve climbing down difficult ladders and can be narrow and winding as well as uneven ground wiyh sand and rubble that washes out when they flood. I think some can be accessed more easily but may not be possible to tour through but would give you a taste. these days there are much more opportunities tha there used to be and I feel sure you will find something through the companies guiding these tours. Hope you are successful it is so worthwhile to visit.

The interesting thing about these slot canyons is that they look rather ordinary in person... but when you take your pictures, with the correct settings (ie: WB to cloudy, shutter speed "slow") (can't remember what I used...), you get the gorgeous orange "glowing" rocks... A photo tour of the canyons will allow you to use a tripod; an regular tour will not & they will hustle you through the canyon.

There is a very good article about shooting slot canyons from inside and out in the June 2013 issue of Outdoor Photographer.
I've been to Bryce, Zion, and the Colorado Plateau, and found them most impressive!
