D.J.'s Favorite U.S. Travel Photos

Grand Canyon

Deer Creek (a 52 kB jpeg file).

Right before Deer Creek plummets into the Colorado River, it has to pass through this slot canyon.

Elves Chasm (a 49 kB jpeg file).

Another, smaller stream flows into the Colorado River through Elves Chasm. It is a great place to leap from the rocks into the pool that waits below.

Fluting (a 48 kB jpeg file).

One of the most beautiful effects of the erosion process is called fluting. Flutes are created when a piece of hard rock gets trapped in a depression in a softer rock. As the water causes the hard rock to move back and forth in the depression, it slowly digs a hole in the softer rock.

Yosemite National Park

Bridal Veil Falls (a 30 kB jpeg file).

Yosemite Falls (a 21 kB jpeg file).

These are two of the most picturesque falls in Yosemite National Park

Colorado

Uncompahgre Peak (a 51 kB jpeg file).

Uncompahgre Peak is located in southwestern Colorado, near the towns of Telluride and Ouray.
