Milkweed Canyon is located on Sanup Plateau the First Nations Hualapai Tribal Reservation in northern Arizona, within the southern part of the Grand Canyon National Park.
From the top of Milkweed Canyon over the course of 8 miles it feeds into Spencer Canyon which in turn runs down into the Colorado River in Granite Gorge at the Lava Cliffs Rapids.
While not a classic slot canyon, some parts of Milkweed are long, narrow passages with a stream running through all year round. 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 canon it is densely-wooded and 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 a far removed from the hustle and bustle of the main south or north rim viewpoints.
Most of Milkweed canyon is inaccessible for hiking so this aerial view I took while flying over the area is about the only way to enjoy it!
This following photo is of the Canvas Giclee Print I made of this image for a collector. All of the images I post on Steemit are available for print in a variety of sizes and on a variety of different substrate materials. And I will take crypto currency in exchange for my fine art prints.

Yehaw!!
sky has unusual colours
Waniowski, check the response I left for TeresaChang above...
That is hands down, stunningly gorgeous. The colors, the shadows, are so distinct. I know you said this was an aerial view - did you take this during a certain part of the day?
Certainly inspired today!
Teresa, this was lensed in the late afternoon when the sun was about half an hour from setting, officially during the dusk of the day. Because I shoot with fast glass on a high resolution digital back camera, the detail and colors are superb in clarity and color depth. Glad you enjoy it!
Wow! Nice pictures ;)
I have never heard of Milkweed Canyon but it seems really interesting. :) I think lot of people will be interested to buy your art prints, it is very beautiful.
Thank you for sharing.
Why thank you Inuk... yes this is one of the many off-the-beaten-trail locations around the Grand Canyon that are equally as interesting and beautiful (at least to me) as the main part of the park. I have been selling prints for a couple of years so far, just never thought to do it on Steemit and for crypto cyurrency! LOL... lets see how it goes.
Thanks for the very positive stuff.
You are most welcome DoBro! ... I am all about the positive stuff... life is far too short to dwell in negativity!
