Slotted canyon hiking in utah

[sons of scotland]

these are pics from an trip we took a few years ago while out west. a local who lives in the area turned us on to this hike. this hike is not even on any of the maps. it is one of the coolest hikes i have ever done.

two pics of the trail before entering the canyon.

me starting the hike in the canyon, and yes the creek bed is the trail.

this was the deepest water i was in during the hike, but at that point the canyon was no wider than 5 foot.

the next 5 pictures are all part of the trail.

every half mile or so you have to climb a ladder to get to the shelf of the trail.

the missus on the ladder waiting on me

some locals on a natural water slide.

thanks for looking...

I love canyoneering in slots. My wife does not. She freaked out with claustrophobia in one years ago and won't ever do it again.

Great pics.

What a great trek!! Awesome pics too. I got to thinking what a great place to hang the hammock with the right gear. Such a cool place

Was that near a place called Kolob by chance?

Beautiful, but I can't help worrying about floods. Looked like a nice clear day tho.

I got out of a rather tight cave once right as it began flooding. Not been much into closed-in water ways since then!
