7.Little Wild Horse Canyon, San Rafael Swell

Little Wild Horse Canyon is said by some travel journalists to be quite an impressive slot canyon situated in the popular San Rafael Swell region. This slot canyon is narrow and long which makes for a noteworthy hiking experience. Take a loop hike via Bell Canyon or hike out and back. Take some time to visit nearby Goblin Valley State Park.

 

6.The Zebra Slot Canyon, Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument

 

The Zebra Slot Canyon is a local favorite of a number of travel writers and experienced hikers. It’s marked by zebra-like stripes within the sandstone. This 300-foot-long slot canyon generally has water in it and can be as narrow as 10 inches too.

In fact, some hikers have turned back because they actually get claustrophobic. The canyon’s tapered floor can make it difficult for some hikers to easily navigate. Be prepared to get wet.  

Dress accordingly. Start your hike at Hole in the Rock Road then slowly descend into Harris Wash. It is there that you will eventually come to the mouth of the canyon.
