I do like that. It is, or at least seems to be, a highly stylised representation of a stream falling into a cave or very narrow canyon, but do we know what or where?

@ReneeT [@goodlil686] Thank you for explaining it!

@ArishMell it does look like water in that photo, but....you would NOT want to be anywhere near that canyon with rain anywhere within 20 miles of it. The slots are particularly prone to severe flash flooding and that same canyon caught 8 unsuspecting hikers and there guide in a flash flood about 15yrs ago and killed all 8 hikers. The guide was the only one to survive. Only one or two of their bodies were ever recovered. That canyon dumps into Lake Powell a few miles downstream. With a depth of over 700 ft the bodies were probably flushed out the canyon and silted over in the lake. Very Beautiful and potentially very deadly place as all slot canyons are.

@goodlil666 That was actually explained to our group before we went into the caverns. It was scary to think about but everything worked well that day.
