    Peekaboo and Spooky slot canyons

    October 13, 2020 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 57 °F

    We started the hike from the Lower Dry Fork Trailhead around 10. Weather has nice, high for the day around 80. There is a trail with plenty of cairns to lead you down into the canyon. There is a nice trail map at the start. The trail leads you first to Peekaboo. You are suppose to start there so you go clockwise. Both slots are so narrow in places that you don’t want traffic going both ways. Peekaboo starts with a climb up some rocks. It looked a little challenging but after Bevis went up it wasn’t as tough as we thought. The canyon was fantastic. Narrow, beautiful lines, great lighting. It is no more then a mile and then up pop out and then hike overland to the beginning of Spooky. Again, incredible slot. About half way we came to a pile of big boulders. There were about 10 people trying to figure out how to get through. Finally one young guy lowered down one of the holes and then crawled backward up the trail a few feet and the another opening took us on the other side of the boulders. Pretty fun working with the group to find a solution. The rest of Spooky was incredible. So narrow in places you had to suck in the gut to squeeze through. Definitely a must do. We then hiked out Dry Fork Narrows and I think we stopped short of getting to the Rim Trail. We took a trail that hooked up with the trail we started with lower down from where the Rim Trail comes in.Read more
