The linked trek in the website will also take you around Ship Rock and Newspaper Rock. YOU WILL WANT A DOWNLOADED MAP. I got turned around multiple times and was so happy I had a trek to get me back on course.

When going to the slot, you must first pass it (as you're walking above it) then work your way down to enter.
