these are in the Chama Canyon Wilderness Area...and there are about 20 more slot canyons there. See: http://www.dougscottart.com/hobbies/SlotCanyons.htm
and a new book out on New Mexico Slot Canyons: http://www.dougscottart.com/Books.htm
...and another New Mexico slot with a trout stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_82URHLAHiw
then there is my favorite New Mexico canyon- South Casa Canyon in the Pecos Wilderness...!!! it is not techical but involves scrambling and extreme bush whacking...!!! -has huge Rio Grande Cutthroat Trout swimming in way deep and huge pools under countless waterfalls. the high falls are 40' - 60' and 95' high...... there has never been a trail thru this canyon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6z16K00duGc
The Toltec Gorge is a goodern' too- jumping off waterfalls between sheer walls 1000' high...!!! no ropes needed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXZ5X_bwDpA
enjoy-
