  • Back

  • Start at the beginning of the dirt road, or with a 4x4 start at point [9].
    Head north on the dirt road and at [2] keep left at the crossing.
    Before entering the Slot canyon, head northeast, following a path along the canyon on a rim trail until point [5].
    Head back to crossing [3] and turn right down into the Slot canyon [6].
    This first part is not so impressive, but after 200 feet, it turns out to be an impressive canyon, narrow with walls going strait up. Zigzagging further down the very narrow canyon up to point [8].
