Most photogenic slots...

[akavalun]

Ok guys and gals, after doing High Spur, I've got the itch to hit some slots that I've never been to. I'm looking for your opinions on YOUR favorite canyons for scenic/photographic value. I'm not looking for canyons that are fun, short, long, easy hard, etc....this is simply what you think is the most photogenic canyons you've been to, technical or not. To make it a little easier, I'll list off the ones that I've already been to, so I'm hoping to find some suggestions in addition to these: Upper and Lower Antelope, Kaibito, Peach, Waterholes, Peek-a-boo, Spooky, High Spur, Buckskin, Wire Pass, the Subway, the Narrows, Kanarraville....

Here are a few I have on my list: Sulphur Creek, Moonshine, Upper Chute, West Canyon, Long Canyon...

Thanks everyone!

also, many sections of neon are spectacular, especially those at the triborough entry and below.

Kaleidescope AKA Choprock, would be on my short list.

Yep, was just looking into Choprock. It's been a long time since I first looked into it. I like the name Kaleidescope!

Where are these slots....

if there is flow in pleasant creek in capitol reef, it can be nice too, some small waterfalls. halls creek narrows are really good. choprock is good, but it's not really photogenic, as the light never really gets super good, because of the shape of the canyon i think. the subways are photogenic, but the light is always ho-hum, it seems. chambers in the roost is good, but the upper part is SKINNY. you could rap in mid-way though and just shoot the chambers.

It's already on your list, but upper chute is spectacularly photogenic when light is right (from baptist entry going upstream). Some parts are very dark all day long.

If I was looking for the most photogenic slot canyons I'd spend some time browsing through these threads

Scopulus, is it possible to just hike down Chute as far as you want, rather than doing Baptist first? Also, anybody have any thoughts on Brimstone? I know it gets really tight, but are the photogenic spots reachable?

Yes, you can poke in from the top and go as far as you care to. However, Baptist makes it a little more fun and has a nice slot (narrow, good light and actually has a flat sandy floor you can walk on with both feet).

Brimstone is too dark for good pics in the good stuff for the most part unless you have a good camera and know how to expose that kind of stuff. Fun little slot, sometimes tasty cold water in the spring but as far as photogenics go, too frustrating for me.

Thanks Scopulus, I shoot large format and have taken shots up to 8 minutes long before, so I'm not worried about that. I might give it a try if I lose a few more lbs! :lol8:

choprock, neon, coyote gulch, one of the bakers is rad, Kolob in the fall when the leaves are around, chambers, and Corbett for sure
