Near Canyonlands National Park, this feature creates a remarkable 180 degree bend out of the land!

That's so amazing you made that all by yourself! Care to share in your process? I've always wanted a canyon all of my own

[–] Speculater 3 points 1 year ago

You just bring a cellphone to the canyon and hit the photo button!

Pretty sure Grand canyon is the closest national park. By the way there is a fire chicken sando place near here

Oh, damn. You're right, lol. I was going off memory.

I thoroughly recommend that anyone who is coming through this area check out Antelope Canyon. Such an amazingly bizarre landscape and only a few minutes from Horseshoe Bend.

Good picture.

If anyone's planning to go there, just remember there are hundreds of people around you trying to get the same picture.

[–] Speculater 1 points 1 year ago

Hard to get a good photo for sure! Best time to go is in winter.

Now you just got to go blasting around that hairpin in a Pitts

What a beautiful picture, btw. How did you get that styling in your username?

[–] Speculater 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I used a random fancy font generator on Google and changed it on the Lemmy website under display name.
