3.The Joint Trail, Canyonlands National Park
The Joint Trail is unique. It is unlike the other slot canyons of Utah. Most slot canyons are the result of water erosion. This one, however, was created by huge layers of sandstone that actually cracked beneath their own weight. This, in turn, left a great grid of multiple slot canyons with caverns and perpendicular intersections. You will need a full day of hiking within the Needles District of Canyonlands in order to reach your destination.
2.Buckskin Gulch, Vermilion Cliffs National Monument
Beautiful Buckskin Gulch is one of the world’s longest continuous canyons and has a total of 13 miles of narrows. It actually leads into the previously mentioned Paria Canyon. You can think of the bottom entry line spot as a detour from Paria Canyon’s “Whitehouse” Trailhead. If you would rather not hike too far, you can see the upper entry point of Buckskin Gulch at the “Wire Pass” Trailhead. Get a permit and go backpacking through both Buckskin Gulch and Paria Canyon in one trip.
