Coalmine Canyon

This canyon, located about 17 miles south of Tuba City, is very colorful and presents a wide (and I mean WIDE) diversity of scenery regardless of the time of day. To visit this canyon a high clearance vehicle is required and for many of the scenes I've shot a 4X4 is mandatory.

I should point out that this area has a soft upper crust with lots of ongoing erosion everywhere; as a result of this situation there are many dangerous overhangs to contend with. Be absolutely certain to walk both the left and right of where you would like to stand and visually inspect the area first (to ensure you will be standing on safe ground); this is VERY important.

ALSO IMPORTANT, please note ... whenever you visit a Pbase gallery for the first time, or if you have clicked on a size smaller than "original size" while visiting this or any other Pbase gallery, please be sure to click on "original" size, otherwise you will be presented with a low quality JPEG as versus the high quality JPEG (the size doesn't change, only the quality level of the JPEG compression); you only have to do this once, on the very first picture you look at.

Alternatively, on the very first picture you can add "/original" to the URL in the address bar and hit "refresh" or "go" as the case may be; again, you only have to do this once (on the very first picture). This "/original to the URL" approach is the sure-fire/no-mistake/best way to ensure you will see the highest quality JPEG presentation.
