Thank you for yet another terrific video! Perfect combination of concise description and visual illustration of slot canyon formation...can't believe how much I learned in 4 minutes!
Thanks Shawn! I've been in this canyon countless times. I knew some of those things, but it's always a pleasure to hear an expert speak on it. I would love to hear an even more in-depth explanation sometime!
@@shawnwillsey There's also the safety factor that a lot of people from other places are unaware of flash floods and how dangerous they can be -- the one that hit Hildale and Zion back around 2015 if I remember correctly took 21 lives in a single day. There was another significant loss of life in Antelope Canyon near Page back in 1997 with 11 deaths -- the water was said to be 40 feet high in places.
The lobes that you point out at 3:06. Are they facing down stream or up stream? Or to put it differently, are you pointing down canyon or up canyon at that point?
Shawn, is there any information on how much (toxic) gas and heat that was liberated from the ancient Large Igneous Provence's and correlations with mass excitations?
Occasionally. One time, I encountered a great horned owl in Buckskin Gulch slot canyon and had to figure out how to squeeze past him with 3-4 feet of space.
I hope that your students realise just HOW blessed they are to have you as their teacher! 😊

Wow, great comment and exactly what I am trying to do. Be sure to subscribe and look for more soon.
@@shawnwillsey I subscribed after the first video I watched a couple of weeks ago...and I've been catching up. I'll definitely watch for more!
@@Danika_Nadzan Enjoy the existing videos as well as new ones coming soon.

Hi Adam. Good idea. I will work on a more in-depth presentation on slot canyons, incision rates, etc. Stay tuned!

It looks like Land of the Lost around there. One of my favorite parts of the US.
thx Shawn
Good stuff Shawn!
Love your videos
Hey thanks for watching and learning with me.
And the last thing you want to hear in a slot canyon? Thunder!
The lobes that you point out at 3:06. Are they facing down stream or up stream? Or to put it differently, are you pointing down canyon or up canyon at that point?
The video is shot moving downcanyon.
How do you find the time to teach and also go goof off and film all these videos?
Not that I mind, but you're everywhere!
A lot of these are done when I am traveling or doing outdoor activities. It’s pretty easy to tack on a video or two when I am out and about.
Can you do White Pocket and Coyote Buttes North and South geological explanations! Would be a great video!
Will try. I did a few videos very near there (Toadstools and The Nautilus) last spring.
I did see your video near there and Toadstool and great stuff!

Shawn, is there any information on how much (toxic) gas and heat that was liberated from the ancient Large Igneous Provence's and correlations with mass excitations?
I do not know the answer to this. Sorry.
How do you know there isn't a heavy thunderstorm mile up hill?
Amazing, sometimes more like a cave. Don't you ever come across a snake ?
