A man paddles a kayak in the slot canyon at the mouth of the Havasu River where it meets the Grand Canyon
A kayaker paddling in the slot canyon at the mouth of the Havasu River where it meets the Grand Canyon. The water is colored with travertine. Travertine is a form of limestone deposited by mineral springs, especially hot springs. Travertine often has a fibrous or concentric appearance and exists in white, tan, and cream-colored varieties. It is formed by a process of rapid precipitation of calcium carbonate, often at the mouth of a hot spring or in a limestone cave. In the latter, it can form stalactites, stalagmites, and other speleothems. It is frequently used in Italy and elsewhere as a building material.
