Tunnel Canyon

Chinle, AZ - 17 Oct 2023      See on Google Maps

In a trip to Canyon de Chelly I traveled to Tunnel Canyon Overlook for sunset. This is the first overlook into the canyon. At first, it seemed understated compared to other grand views into Canyon de Chelly on the south side. Tunnel canyon quickly goes from the overlook into the canyon but not a cliff drop. Therefore, it is possible to hike to the canyon floor from the overlook (if you ar Navajo or guided by a Navajo).

Tunnel Canyon frames the trees and rocks of Canyon de Chelly. And the setting sun makes the rocks glow. I was using a tripod for a long exposure at a low ISO in the low light.
