Tunnel (on the same loop as Zebra) – least impressive, shortest, and most water-filled.Zebra – narrowest at the bottom, most photogenic, and quite short.Little Wild Horse – least narrow, most family/dog-friendly, and best introduction to slots.

We committed to exploring the land of slot canyons with zeal and conquered five of the area’s most famous canyons: Their walls tower high above the canyon floor, which is often just a few feet (or less) wide. What the heck is a slot canyon, you ask? It’s a narrow gorge carved deep into the surrounding sandstone by millions of years of rushing water. Imagine how thrilled I was to discover that southern Utah, where we would be spending a whole month exploring, is home to the largest concentration of slot canyons in the whole world! But until recently, I didn’t even know where to find them. Even before I knew what they were called, I scrolled through photos of slot canyons on my phone, hoping that one day I’d have the chance to explore one and capture my own photos.
