Potholes in a small draw - San Rafael Swell

Paul Jones

Twisting lines trace the slickrock contours of a small, unnamed canyon in the San Rafael Swell. Potholes are rough, circular depressions carved into canyon floors. Deep, sheer-walled potholes, sometimes called "keeper" potholes by canyoneers, are only navigable only by those with technical expertise.
