A water-worn canyon, with sides that alternately open up and close in, and a footpath of water worn pebbles from aeons of mountain rain run-off. This palm is common here. Modern revisions suggest they are the variable species, Brahea dulcis, but actually conform more closely to the defunct species Brahea berlandieri. Photo-Adventures in Mexico, edric.
