Finding the correct path after leaving the wash, can be an issue. After 1/4 mile, just hug the right hand side white cliff walls and you will see a cairn marking the spot. Make a right and hike up the very steep section. After that, it is reasonably easy following the trail. Yellow Rock is a sight to behold. Make you way on it and play to your hearts content.

After doing the national parks I wanted to stay around Kenab and get away from the crowds Looked up local trails and decided to this one. I would call it slightly moderate. What an enjoyable trail. My husband and I were the only people on it! Beautiful scenery of the town and when you make it to the top you great views which you can see for miles. There are parts where you are walking on a ledge, so it's not a great idea for children

If you are looking for a tour guide in the Kanab region, look no further than Coral Cliffs Tours (435-899-0697). To begin the day, our tour guide, Ron, picked us up in his Jeep at our RV park where we are staying, and we headed out for a tour of Peekaboo Slot Canyon. All along the way he pointed out facts and information regarding the area and it’s history. He had a great knowledge of geological information and was a wealth of information on what we were seeing, including the age and make up of all the rock formations we were seeing. He is also a great photographer, so you don’t have to take any selfie‘s. He is so personable and makes the tour so interesting and enjoyable. We are so thankful that we started our vacation in Kanab with his tour because he not only gave us an awesome tour, but also gave us information on numerous other things to see and do while we are in the area. Peekaboo Slot Canyon is definitely a must see for anyone visiting the area! It’s a memory we will never forget.
4. Paria River Canyon

The Paria River has cut deep into the soft sandstone, hundreds of feet deep, and the walls of the canyon are striated in bands of pink and red and ocher and copper and gold, smoothed by water into intricate rippled patterns and glazed by the sun.

We drove to the location of where the movie set once was. The colors of hills as we descended on the road were awesome. Worth the time and effort. The ground has a interesting hard surface but spongy feel.

Wire Pass Trailhead and Buckskin Gulch Trailhead in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in Utah us about a 1 hour drive from Page, AZ At first, this is an easy 1.7 mile walk to see a very cool slot canyon and other beautiful rock formations and petroglyphs. You can turn around and go back at that point. However, if you want to explore further, you either have to navigate through an 8 foot drop (good luck!) or go back and find your way up and around the other side of the canyon. That’s what we did and I will tell you it was a little bit treacherous for an out of shape 57-year-old woman who has lousy balance and footing. I found myself sitting on my butt scooting down some smooth rocks feeling like I was going to fall... I am embarrassed to say I actually cried both coming and going in that one tough to navigate area, but got through it with some help from kind strangers. Once you find your way to the other side of that initial slot canyon, the walk is very pleasant and you will continue through a beautiful slot canyon...when it opens up, you will see some petroglyphs on the right. Then you come to a point where you have to go right or left…we went left and walked into Buckskin Gulch (more narrow shaded canyons which was easy enough, except the sandy floor is a loose, which make it a little more difficult to walk). We saw a rattlesnake and ignored him or her. All in all, it was a good workout and worthwhile particularly with the recent closing of the famous Antelope Canyon in Navajo Nation closed to the public due to Covid.
