Suspended log in Buckskin Gulch. A hiker considers a heavy log stuck between the narrow walls of Buckskin Gulch, placed there by a flash flood some time in the past. Buckskin Gulch is the world's longest accessible slot canyon, forged by centuries of erosion through sandstone. Flash flooding is a serious danger in the narrows where there is no escape.
