Not technically a slot canyon, but this is a man-made water drainage that gives the feeling that you're in a slot canyon. I wouldn't go out of my way to do this one, despite whatever you see on social media. Yes, its a cool pit stop if you're passing through, but would not travel extra distance to visit. The tunnel has been completely vandalized with graffiti nearly the entire length.
