'Wire Pass Canyon.’
During flashfloods in the Wire Pass Canyon, a branch canyon of the Paria River, branches and stones are transported through the narrow gulch at great speed. Some of them get stuck between opposing walls, reminder the hiker how dangerous this environment can be during rainy periods.

'Paria Canyon-2.’
A trek through the colourful Paria Canyon involves crossing the water every hundred meters. Using a stick can help you to avoid quicksand. The canyon of the Paria (a tributary of the Colorado) can be found east of Kanab and south of route 89.

’Gorges de Daluis.’
Carved in red slate with its purple and violet shades the Gorges de Daluis (Alpes-Maritimes, France) are one of the most beautiful and spectacular canyons in Europe. At just 1,5 hours from Nice and the Côte d'Azur it is more accessible then its famous counterparts in the American Southwest. If you don't mind getting wet feet you can walk the complete length.

Are we saving France’s most noble fruit from decay or stealing from someone’s garden? Photo Paul Smit.](http://paulsmit.smugmug.com/Features/Europe/Southern-France-Four-Hikes/2731/2068672_VWLXE-Ti-1.jpg "Smit & Palarczyk > [FRANCE.COTEDAZUR 2731]

'Floral fragrances.'
In June broom is the dominant vegetation above Menton. Its flowers are four times as large as the broom I am familiar with. The smell is bigger than life too: as if a thousand honey pots have been left open. This photo is taken in the Borrigo valley north of Sainte Agnès.

’Holes in the rock.’
The base of this sandstone wall in the Paria Canyon has been undercut during floods by swirling water and hard stones transported from upstream.

’Hiker in The Wave-6.’
The hiker who enters "The Wave" in the Coyote Buttes nature reserve (part of the Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness) may think he is stepping into a sticky red fluid with white stripes, something like sour cream stirred into pumpkin soup. But this geological wonder actually consists of 200 million years old fossilized sand dunes.
