The truck grinds up a washboard track and then dips into silence: the world narrows to a ribbon of sky and walls that have been carved by wind and time. On the Peekaboo Slot Canyon 4WD Tour from Kanab, the landscape feels intentionally private—stone walls leaning close enough to whisper history as sunlight slices down into the corridor in shifting beams.

Hydrate before heading out
Bring at least 1 liter of water per person for this short tour; summer heat and the sun-reflecting rock can dehydrate quickly.
Wear grippy, closed-toe shoes
Traction matters on slickrock and sand; light hiking shoes or approach shoes are best for narrow steps and short scrambles.
Watch the weather
Avoid tours during or after storms—slot canyons are vulnerable to flash floods even when rain falls miles away.
Bring a compact camera and a lens cleaning cloth
Sand and dust are common; a small wide-angle lens will capture the slot’s curves and color.
Sturdy hiking shoes
Grip and toe protection for slickrock, sand and small scrambles.
