About
This tour begins with a thrilling ride in a customized off-road machine leading to a slot canyon, which is privately accessed and far from any paved roads. Once at the canyon's mouth, the hike begins. The red canyon walls stretch over 100 feet high on either side, with a gap of only 6-10 feet between the walls to hike through.
Led by a guide and local expert, the tour continues on foot through the canyon while learning about Native American history and geographical information.
This tour is specific for groups that do not desire to climb, and when the canyon gets too difficult the group will hike back to the UTV and travel to a separate slot canyon and explore the bottom section of it as well.
If your group is interested in a more technical experience, see our alternative Crimson Canyon tour or our canyoneering options.
