Introduction

Fun non-technical slot canyon, easy to combine with nearby Peek-a-Boo Canyon. The canyon gets very narrow but there are poles at the trailhead that will tell you if you can fit or not.

Additional details for the area are consolidated in the Peek-a-Boo wiki page.

Descent

The canyon gets very narrow but it is possible to raise your packs over your head or drag them behind you. There are some downclimbs up to 15 feet in the canyon. There is also scrambling underneath rockfall on your stomach as if in a cave for a brief moment.
