Cottonwood Canyon Narrows
Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument
Utah
March 2025

Tucked away in the rugged heart of Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument, the Cottonwood Canyon Narrows is a hidden gem sculpted by time and water. This winding slot canyon, carved from layers of Navajo sandstone, offers a mesmerizing journey through towering walls that shift from fiery red to soft golden hues in the changing light, with the whisper of the desert wind echoing through the passageways. Stepping into this world, you find nature’s artistry fully displayed—remote, serene, and utterly breathtaking.
