Inspiration: Brimstone Gulch is one of the narrowest slot canyons found in the Southwest United States. It measures no more than a yard wide at the broadest point and is completely impassible in some areas, measuring only a few inches in width. The narrow nature of these canyons near Escalante, Utah, causes narrow shafts of sunlight to move along the canyon ways as the daytime sunlight changes angles.
