Milkweed Canyon

Location Origin Story

On the Sanup Plateau in the First Nations Hualapai Tribal Reservation just inside the Grand Canyon National Park is Milkweed Canyon. There are numerous pools, cascades, and small waterfalls, and the walls contain numerous types of pink and grey limestone and thick veins of white quartz. On top of the canyon, it is densely wooded while in the lower area, the canyon has plenty of desert cactus.

This is a particularly remote and untouched region, and though part of the Grand Canyon system it is far removed from the hustle and bustle of the main south or north rim viewpoints.

About This Photograph

This vivid scene was photographed in the early late afternoon during the month of October while Zedekiah was flying and exploring the Mojave Desert south of the Grand Canyon National Monument.

Image Rarity

The image was taken from a moving aircraft, as Zedekiah piloted the aircraft while simultaneously operating the camera.

Zedekiah flying around the canyons Until this scene revealed itself was instrumental in designing this image composition.

Lastly, it is impossible to simply walk up a trail and take the same photograph again. This image was very difficult to create, and is truly one-of-a-kind, therefore making it extremely rare.
