You can make your way up about two-thirds of a mile to where you will once again see open sky. It’s a great one to explore in some areas you will be on your knees, and you will find lots of interesting arches and formations along the way.
PEEK A BOO CANYON REVIEW FULL
This is a corkscrew canyon carved by water, which means fun, and it’s colorful to boot, full of red, orange and pink sandstone. It’s about a 12-foot climb and scramble into the mouth of the canyon, but there is often a upright log or fellow hiker to help you up, or you can use the man-made sandstone indentations, which some call Moki steps, to enter. Cross over to the other side and you will see the opening to Peek-A-Boo canyon. About a mile down you’ll arrive in the sandy Dry Fork Wash. The trailhead is located at 4,950 feet, which means you can probably expect temperatures about 10-15 degrees cooler than in Las Vegas.įrom the trailhead the hike starts off on slickrock, where you will be using cairns as your guide. In September expect daytime temperatures in the 70s and 80s, and in October, the 60s and 70s. Mid-September and October tend to be best for a visit, as autumn weather is usually quite stable in this region, with clear, sunny days. This hike is an especially great one of you have adventurous children with you, as long as they can handle the 3.5-mile round-trip distance, 285 foot elevation gain and some rock scrambling. Both can easily be visited in one half of a day. One favorite hike is to two slot canyons, Spooky and Peek-A-Boo. Many of these slot canyons are difficult to reach, some even taking a full day or longer, but a few are easier to get to and can be just as rewarding. Besides its waterways, arches and other fabulous rock formations, it is home to spectacular canyons - including hundreds of slot canyons. Grand Staircase boasts some of the Southwest’s most impressive scenery, accessible not only by traveling its scenic byways and backways but also by setting out on foot. Established in 1996, it encompasses about one million acres. Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument is located in south central Utah. The mouth of Peek-A-Boo Canyon can only be reached by scrambling up the sandstone.
