You go on the more expensive "photo tours", tip the Native American guide big bucks, in advance. Kyle describes, in part, how it is done. If you want to see some slot canyons here in La Jolla, I can show you some that are less than one year old. And you won't have to pay very much. And I will spring for the Bruichladdich, But only for the 15 year old. I can't afford any better than that.
