Finally I reached the town itself, which is up a side canyon.

But the side canyon was nothing compared to the ravine itself.

This lake backs up into about 100 major side canyons.

He spurred ahead and cut left into one of the many side canyons.

Some of the nearly 200 side canyons exist only when the water level reaches a certain point.

Ahead, a side canyon finally opened on the right.

Several side canyons twisted back into the hills to the north and south.

The wagon could get up the side canyon for a couple of hundred meters, and that was far enough.

Soon he found a side canyon that appeared passable, and led off to the east.

There were other side canyons to explore along the route.
