Slot Canyon Hikes Near Moab Utah Rv Parks

Zebra Canyon and Tunnel Slot: One of the coolest geological features found on the Colorado Plateau are slot canyons, and there are some great ones in south central Utah. The hike is 8.5 miles round trip, but these slot canyons are as good as you will find. Located within Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, Willis Creek is a relatively easy slot canyon hike that is an enjoyable outing both for those who are new to slot canyons and to the seasoned veterans. Although road conditions can add a degree of difficulty at times, the slot canyon is easily accessed: you simply walk down the stream bed and right into the canyon. Because of this.

SGR Canyon, aka S#@! Got Real Canyon, is a very different type of canyon than any other canyon I have done in Moab. The canyon is a physical day of elevation gain, route finding, high stemming, and rappels, very unique for Moab.

Of the people that I know who have done it, comments have ranged from 'amazing!' to 'meh.'. I would lean more toward the 'amazing!' side of the spectrum. Though the actual canyon sections are short, they are unique, beautiful, and well worth the effort to visit.

Given the length of the day, do this one in spring or fall when temperatures are more moderate. It would be unbearably hot in the summer, and snow or ice on the approach in the winter will make reaching the canyon difficult or impossible. Primitive camping in the area is excellent.

Warning: All members of the party should be fit, advanced canyoneers. There is no safe way to protect a high stemming section (80+ feet off the canyon floor). This is a very dangerous canyon for those not confident in their high stemming abilities. If you are unsure what is meant by the term high stemming, this is not the canyon for you.
Due to the logistics of the stemming/rappels, small groups size recommended.
Note: Times vary greatly for the canyon. I would recommend an early start to help ensure success. Many groups take 6-8+ hours. The 3 in our group were all fast hikers and technically experienced. The approach took us 2 hours, the canyon a bit under 2 hours, and the exit a bit under an hour. Throw in a few breaks and we were about 5.5 hours trailhead to trailhead. I would say that would be considered a pretty fast pace. Most fit and experienced groups should be in the 6-8 hour range.

Route Description


Slot Canyon Hikes Near Moab Utah National Park

The Holeman Slot starts beside the road, here running over a white slickrock plateau marked with many small potholes that hold water for some time after rainfall. The ravine deepens via a few drops of 2 to 3 feet, descending through crisp, light brown/orange rocks crossed with thin layers either lighter or darker in color, which add to the prettiness of the curving, water-carved canyon sides. Shallow pools form in a few places after rainfall, and some parts of the floor may be covered by soft mud, but there are no significant obstacles until a slanting, two-stage drop of about 15 feet into a pool, at the start of the deepest and narrowest section of the canyon. This doesn't extend very far, however, soon opening out into a wider passageway with an entrance/exit route on the north side, followed by more shallow, twisting narrows that gradually deepen again until blocked by a chokestone above an overhanging drop. This is climbable, but a much bigger dryfall soon after marks the end of the slot, as the ravine opens out abruptly to a sheer-sided, 80 foot deep box canyon that winds its way westwards towards the Green River.
