Fiery Furnace, Slot canyon in Arches National Park, Utah.
The Fiery Furnace contains a network of narrow sandstone canyons with towering rock walls that form a natural labyrinth within Arches National Park.
Millions of years of water and wind erosion carved these elaborate passageways through the sandstone layers, creating the current geological formation.
Native American tribes inhabited this region and left archaeological evidence of their presence among the sandstone formations of the Fiery Furnace.
Access to the Fiery Furnace requires obtaining permits from the visitor center and watching an orientation video before entering the canyon system.
The sun rays penetrate the narrow slots between red rock walls, creating light and shadow patterns that change throughout different times of day.
