Arguably two of the best slot canyons in the entire world, these are ones we keep coming back to over and over. Both can be done individually BUT most do them as a loop. Spooky is the harder of the two but it is possible to only do Peekaboo as an out and back.

➡️ There is a 10-15 foot dryfall climb required to enter Peekaboo. Moqui steps are carved in the rocks to help.

Kid Friendly?
This is going to depend on your child. My almost three year old managed it better than we did, BUT did require assistance in multiple places.

💡 Many reports say a rope is needed in Spooky. We've completed our fifth loop and have never used a rope or felt we needed one. I'm only assuming the area in reference but there is a bypass by going under the rocks instead in Spooky.

✨ This was one of our first adventures when visiting Utah 10 years ago, and remains one of our favorites. Other hike-able slots in the area to check out include — Dry Fork, Brimstone, Bighorn, Zebra + more.
