Middle
Rita's Canyon
Desert
storms can dump large amounts of water in a very short time
creating flash floods. These torrents of water can cut deep
narrow channels through sand stone. The famous Slot Canyons
near Page Arizona were and still continue to be carved in sandstone
by flash floods.
Rita's
Canyon is a little known canyon that has three distinct slot
canyon sections separated by loose sand gullies.
