Desert Flame
Southern Utah
In a remote slot canyon just outside Canyonlands National Park, a shaft of light pierces the shadows, setting the sandstone aglow in rich hues of amber and crimson. Sculpted by centuries of wind and water, the canyon’s smooth, flowing walls rise like frozen waves, capturing the quiet power and timeless beauty of the desert southwest—far from the crowds, deep in wilderness silence.
