Day 16 SLOT CANYON TRIP: JUNE 8, 2011, Peekaboo




DAY 16: Another perfect day!

Since we were in the right area, we learned there are a lot of slot canyons in the Grand Staircase-Escalante Area - they say about 1000! Two of their most famous ones that are moderate hikes are Peekaboo and Spooky. Both lived up to their names. There are several slot canyons accessible from the Harris Wash. We visited Peekaboo first.

To get into the canyon the first challenge is climbing up 12 feet to the entrance. The 1st picture for today shows that. Thankfully there were some toe notches and enough places to hang onto to make it up pretty easily. We got out there early and were the only ones in Peekaboo during the time we were there...but lots of other people got there not long after we left...they are popular sites to visit!

Happy Birthday, Shayne! We had a terrific day on your birthday!
