Before you head out on a slot canyon hike (or any canyon hike really), it’s incredibly important to be safe and prepared. All of the slot canyons in this guide are non-technical slot canyons. This means that you do not need canyoneering gear, like ropes, a harness, and helmet, to navigate through them. However, some scrambling is required in a few of them. Keep in mind that flash floods can change the conditions in a slot canyon, so the difficulty may change over time.

If there's rain in the forecast anywhere in the vicinity of where you're hiking, then reconsider your hiking plans. Flash floods can be triggered from rain MILES away from where you’re hiking. Even if there are blue skies above you, if you see storm clouds in the distance you should avoid slot canyons. Flash floods are usually most common during monsoon season in the summer.
