Lower Hanawi Waterfall and rocky stream are an explorer's delight. Hiking up the stream, I came to the huge waterfall and plunge pool. Mist covered everything and the whole cliff face was covered with ferns and vines. In my Blog about this adventure I go into a little of what it took to reach this spectacular waterfall. - Gordon Smith Fine Art Photography -- Southwest Landscapes

Grey Mud Pool marks the end of Rainbow Slot Canyon in southwestern Utah. During the heat of the day, this spooky place stayed cool and quiet.

Blue Light Special. Looking back towards the entrance to this cave-slot, the blue light and bright desert sunlight reminded me of what a special place this little piece of paradise is.

Lower Hanawi Waterfall and it plunge pool is a remote, difficult-to-reach spectacle that defies description. The power, mist and noise pouring off into the gorgeous blue pool mesmerized me. The light rays coming over the waterfall brightly shone on the lush ferns covering the canyon walls. Fantastic!
