What's this??? A canyon rumored to be as photogenic as the world famous Antelope? Is it possible? Is it even in the same class as Antelope?

Mid-winter is hardly the best time of year to get good canyon lighting for photographs but we could wait no longer to check it out so Marc Olivaries, Jason Summer, Jason Price, Keith ? and myself decided to explore the rumor and here is a little of what we uncovered.

Next problem.... what do we name this canyon? Some of the current suggestions....

Not Chambers
Little Middle Northeast Fork
Donkey Show
Morroco IX
Insensitive man
Midpoint
Middle Prong of the South Fork of the North Branch

That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

I like the title to this thread... "donkey show" - It's bound to get lots of hits.

I think we had four camera's and a video recorder on the trip. We should have some sweet pictures and video from the collective group.

A little later in the year with the sun a little higher in the sky would have been a big help so we could get more light bouncing off the walls. It was pretty early in the morning when we entered the canyon and it was still really dark. Almost headlamp dark in a couple places.

A band of wild donkey's live at the head of the canyon. One even tried to jump in the Range Rover and go for a ride. Scared the snot out of me and I squealed like a little girl. :haha:

I like Insensitive man and Donkey Show, but why were those names chosen?

Because Insensitive is an adjective of Dead. It will make more sense later...

Becuase a band of wild donkey's live at the head of the canyon, one tried to ram us.... and this fit perfectly with a donkey story told around the campfire the night before.

The photos are outstanding, but is it as good as Antelope?

The photos sure are, but that can be misleading.

I think it is one of the better photogenic canyons. A professional photographer would get a woodie in the slot. We were in the actual slot for 3 or 4 hours so its a long canyon with many opportunities.

Better then Antelope is very subjective.... that is how it was first presented to me so I ran with it. What can I say.... I'm just a pimp at heart. :haha:

Personally I think a lot of canyons are better then Antelope, one of which is nearly in your backyard.

I agree that Red Cave is better than Antelope. I was just sort of ---- kind of ----- getting around to wondering ----if this one was better than Red Cave. :mrgreen:

Great pics!

I have got to get back out in the canyons. Thanks for the motivation.
