Blacktail Canyon

Blacktail canyon is one of the hidden treasures of the Grand Canion. Narrow like a slot canyon, but lumpy and blocky instead of smooth. Named by Frank Bond, it is a mostly dry canyon coming down off of Powell Plateau to the Colorado River. At this point the black schist first becomes visible at the beach, resembling a "Black tail".
