Introduction

All Kaibeto area canyons are closed to visitation of any kind by non-Navajo. These closures are documented in Michael Kelsey's book Technical Slot Canyon Guide to the Colorado Plateau and on the Navajo Parks and Recreation Department website here:https://navajonationparks.org/rules-regulations/. Visitation to all Kaibeto area canyons is considered trespassing and is illegal if you are not Navajo. But if you are Navajo:

Approach

You are in full view of multiple wary property owners!! Do NOT poach this canyon and risk fines and ruin the relationship between the Navajo and canyoneers!

Red tape

Entry to this area is restricted to all non-Navajo persons. If you are not Navajo, and are in this canyon, is it considered illegal. Please respect local rules and regulations when planning your canyoneering trip.
