Looking toward top portal. Panaca Summit Kilns, Nevada.

An unusual slot canyon in the Aztec/Navajo Sandstone in Gold Butte National Monument, southeastern Nevada. A typical slot canyon has parallel sides, or at least narrows downward. This slot canyon has a wider, nearly circular cross-section on the bottom, such that the overall cross-section looks like an old-fashioned keyhole, upside down. Evidently the sandstone right at the base is a bit softer so it's eroded out more. The insets show some other views.

Another view within the canyon.
