Highlights
- Peekaboo Gulch - The slot canyon is most famous because of the last 100 meters, before the junction with Dry Fork of Coyote Gulch - here the ravine cuts deeper into the sandstone, with a series of interlinked potholes, extravagant swirls and fins of rock, and several arches; these different openings and the many corners and crevices account for the curious name of this canyon.
- Spooky Gulch - Only 10 inches wide at some points, Spooky is appropriately named. It is possible to travel almost halfway through before the first of two climbs, so go ahead and squeeze through as far as you dare.
What's Included
- Complimentary bottled water
Additional Information
Topping the list of must-see sights in Southern Utah is the pairing of Peek-a-Boo and Spooky Slot Canyons. Renowned hikes situated in the Dry Fork region of the Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument, they form an exciting circuit you can complete in an afternoon thrill. Whisk yourself into a picturesque landscape of ruby and lavender rock formations, arches, and slim slot canyons after entering.
Starting from the trailhead, our journey takes us scrambling moderately down some compact cliffs to the Dry Fork Wash. Off the cliff and into the sandy landscape, follow the creek wash till the entrance of Peek-a-Boo becomes visible. Post Peek-a-Boo, an adjacent hike will lead to the opening of Spooky Gulch. Carefully descend a gentle rock face to enter the canyon. It soon narrows down offering a delightful challenge as you navigate through this captivating narrow canyon.
- Travel time is included on the total tour duration.

Epic - our guide Neil was excellent and helpful in the tight spots and gave us confident that we could do it. And the adventure was epic and memorable and the scenery was fantastic, in spite to a late start due to delay outside of our control in a hot day and kudo to Neil for the cold drink back at the ATV, tks

Epic - What an amazing experience. Our guide, Neil, was experienced and knowledgeable and had a calming presence throughout the trip. Be forewarned that there are long stretches of very narrow spaces, as well as three or four places where you're scrambling up steep rocks - probably not for the claustrophobic crowd. Definitely worth every minute - a true bucket list experience for our whole family.

Super cool tour with Neal! - This is a Superb tour! Don't try to do this without a guide! Neal was fantastic and kept us safe in an area that could get rather dicey without a guide. Lots of places you could get lost I think and Neal kept us right on track. The three canyons are amazing and so different. It was super hot so lots of water is needed. Spooky Gulch is VERY NARROW. I'm 134 lbs and thin and I barely made it through. Loved every minute of this tour except the 45 minutes in the ATV to get there. We didn't have a windshield so it was super windy. The bumpiness was not a problem though. Just make sure you have sunglasses for your eyes in the wind and a jacket for morning chilliness on the ride out there. You won't need the jacket except for that part for sure!

Awesome, once in a lifetime experience. - Excellent experience. Neal was our guide. He was considerate, knowledgeable, caring and professional as all times. We would do it again, but only difference would be when it is cooler weather. The canyons are definitely a unique experience.

Great Tour and Guide! - Neil was a great guide with many years of hiking the canyons and area. Really enjoyed this experience of the three slot canyons. Not sure we could've done this on our own, so we were so happy to have Neil and his expertise with us! Would definitely do this tour again and highly recommend Neil!!

Escalante slot canyons - Neil did a fantastic job of guiding us through the slots and throwing in some great local history. The small group size (6) was a plus and the canyons were beautiful. We would totally recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see some beautiful slot canyons off the beaten path and be challenged physically doing it. 5 stars!

A must-do tour - This is a very unique experience! Without a guide you wouldn't know where to go. Our guide Neil made sure we made it through in one piece. Beautiful, fun and unforgettable experience.

Fabulous - Regan, our guide, was absolutely wonderful. He managed to get us to places throughout the slot canyons that I didn't think we could have done. It was one of the most enjoyable experiences of our vacation. Highly recommend Regan and this Peekaboo, Dry fork, Spooky slot canyon tour.
