11.3.18 - This was a frigid fall morning in Southwest Virginia. I thought I might take a quick dip in this natural limestone bathtub, just to say I had, but it was a crisp 35º on the hike up, and that mountain water was cold enough on my feet and ankles. I'd guess even in the middle of summer this water is still frigid. Oddly enough, I stayed vertical when I had no right to on the slick descent into this bowl, but I busted my ass and camera a few miles later on the final easy river crossing before getting back to the car.

6.21.18 - One of the most bizarre and spectacular places I've seen in Virginia, the only slot canyons I've experienced outside of the Southwest. I can't wait to go back and hike this again with different weather conditions.
