Redwall Cavern: fun big magic sandbox! |
Redwall Cavern is the biggest sand box in the world. I know. I've been there. The size is huge and comparable to a soccer field, a football field or a giant parking lot. Except this is nature made and much prettier. We pulled up on day 3 of our rafting trip for a lunch stop. Everyone broke out their favorite toys: frisbee, soccer ball, bocce, etc. We played and played for an hour. Then ate lunch. It's great to explore here by walking from one end to the other but it takes a
long time. Then go from the back to the front. It also takes a
long time. This is just so big and wonderful that walking in sand feels fun.

Redwall Cavern dwarfs these otherwise huge rafts and people. It's so big and beautiful. |
Photographing Redwall Cavern is no simple feat. It's too big. With my 16mm lens I took several shots and then had to stitch them together in PS to create a picture of the whole thing. My second picture has people and boats in it for scale. I love this place because there's no place else on the earth like it.

Exploring inside the "Cave of Death" |
If that's not enough caves for one day, we also visited and explored the "Cave of Death" which is also in the Redwall formation. These limestone layers have caves going up, down, in, out and even diagonal. I liked shooting out the cave to show how close it is to the Colorado River.
