Ride a guided UTV across wind-sculpted dunes to a quieter slot canyon north of Kanab. This private, family-friendly trip pairs off-road fun and an easy slot hike with optional sandboarding.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You climb into a guided UTV as the desert opens up: wind-polished sandstone rims, rippling dunes that dare you to race them, and a ribbon of track cutting toward a narrow slot. The engines hum, the tires sink and pop in soft sand, and within twenty minutes the landscape tightens into the shadowed throat of Peek-A-Boo — a quiet alternative to the busier canyon draws nearby.

The slot sits within sedimentary layers of Navajo Sandstone shaped over millions of years; Southern Paiute people lived and traveled through these plateaus for generations.
Conservation
Stay on designated tracks and avoid driving on undisturbed dunes; do not climb canyon walls or remove artifacts, and always pack out trash to protect fragile desert soils.

Hydrate before you arrive
Desert sun and sand add up—carry at least 1 liter of water per person and sip regularly even on short trips.
Wear closed-toe shoes with grip
Canyon floors are sandy and the ladder requires steady footing; trail runners or lightweight hiking shoes work best.
Time your visit for cooler hours
Start early or late afternoon to avoid the hottest sun and to get softer light for photos.
Watch the forecast for rain
If there’s any rain upstream, slots can flash flood—trip may be canceled for safety.
Closed-toe trail shoes
Provide grip on sandy slopes and stability on the short ladder inside the slot.
1–2 liters of water or hydration pack
Desert heat and dry air dehydrate quickly even on a short outing.
summer
Sun protection (hat, sunglasses, SPF 30+)
Open desert and reflective sand increase UV exposure—protect skin and eyes.
summer
Light daypack
Keeps water, camera and extra layers handy without getting in the way on the hike.
