Not thought of as a typical slot canyon, the Fiery Furnace offers MULTIPLE slot canyons to explore along the loop hike. This remains one of my favorite hikes in the park, even if its not for the multiple mini slot canyons. These won't be easy to find so I encourage you to really explore the area and take advantage of the furnace. Be sure to stick to the wash and slickrock, as cryptobiotic soil is abundant.
