Lots of sideways-dragging-the-pack-behind-you type narrows. A little bit of wading (sometimes swimming, I've heard). Dark, cold, wet. Long.
 

And finally, in a final dash of drops and pools, the canyon opens out into the sun. Warmth!

Greeness and open air suddenly seem incredible, after the claustrophobic black-and-whiteness of the actual slot.

The canyon opens out to an interesting sandy wash twisting between 300 foot tall sandstone walls. We find a few incredible sets of Moki steps up the canyon walls. Uh, 5.10? Escaping here would save us several hours of walking, but, uh, yeah, hey, you go first...

Davis opens out into a broad canyon with soaring walls, beautiful meadows and numerous Cottonwoods. Unfortunately, they had all been recently knocked down by a recent attack of beavers - 100s of trees whacked to the ground. This does not look like sustainable agriculture to me!
