Canyons

Both the north rim and the south rim of the Grand Canyon provide spectacular viewpoints.

Bryce Canyon is another well-known and spectacular canyon in the American Southwest.
Slot canyons are narrow canyons that have formed from water rushing through the rocks. Over millions of years, the result is a narrow, high-walled canyon. Be ware when hiking slot canyons as flash flooding is a risk if there is any rain in the forecast.
Some of the most popular slot canyons in the American Southwest are Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon in Page, Arizona, Buckskin Gulch near Knab, Zebra Slot Canyon, Willis Creek, and Peek-A-Boo and Spooky Gulches in Escalante, Zion Narrows, and Kanarra Creek. Plan your hike to these American Southwest slot canyons.

Mesas
Mesas are flat-topped areas that are surrounded by steep escarpments, or cliffs, that are then surrounded by plains.
Cedar Mesa is has Anasazi ruins sites as it was inhabited by Ancestral Puebloans. It's uncertain how these people made these rooms and dwellings up on the cliff side. These mysterious ruins are a treasure to visit and an honor to photograph.

Buttes

Deserts
Deserts in the American Southwest are made up of four deserts: Great Basin, Mojave, Chihuahuan, and Sonoran that stretch from Nevada, California, Arizona, New Mexico, and down into far western Texas. These are surrounded by the Rocky Mountains and Sierra Madre on the east and the Cascades and Sierra Nevada mountains on the west.
Death Valley is one of the hottest places on Earth and is home to the lowest elevation on the North American continent at 282 feet below sea level. Yet, Kane delivers an incredible collection of fine art images from sunsets, abstract images, black and white photos that exquisitely capture the contrast of this magnificent landscape.
