Introduction[edit]
A narrow slot leading off Lake Powell, it's mostly visited by boaters for the excitement of finding out how far their boat will travel before being wedged between the walls, then they have to reverse out. A nice section of narrows with some climbs are above the lake level.
Approach[edit]
On Lake Powell, take the right fork looking up-canyon. Dependent on lake levels, the walls may pinch-in too narrow for a boat. Given the walls are not parrallel, 1 or 2 feet of water makes a difference for where the pinch points are.
At lake elevation 3,640ft, you can likely get a small boat in to the end.
