This is on most Southern Utah bucket lists, you’ll find the local favorite one-two punch of Peek-a-Boo and Spooky Slot Canyons. These magnificent hikes, located in the Dry Fork area of the Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument make for a killer loop you can tackle in one afternoon of adventure. Once you’re in, all you have to do is walk through a scenic paradise of red and purple rock, arches, and narrow slot canyons.

This tour is around 5 miles total hiking distance and is considered moderate hiking going up and down hills.

From the trailhead, we will hike through Dry Fork Wash, you’ll hike along the creek wash until you see the mouth of Peek-a-Boo. Once you leave Peek-a-Boo, we will hike to the entrance of Spooky Gulch. Scramble down a mellow rock face to get into the canyon. It soon tightens up, and you’ll be having a good time navigating the confines of this fun canyon.

Being on time is imperative, if you are more than 15 minutes late we will leave without you.

What To Expect

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. The hiking portion is 5 miles total. 1.5 miles to and from the slot canyons and about .5 miles in each canyon.

1 hour 30 minutes • Admission Included

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.

My husband and I have been traveling for 3 months and this was the highlight of our trip. The Slot Canyons and hike were all we could have hoped for. Our guide Neil knows the area like the back of his hand. Imparts his knowledge in a conversational manner. We will be back; hopefully repeatedly. Thanks Neil for the epic tour: including the ride.

This was a bucket list experience for me. The slot canyons were beautiful and intriguing. Our guides, Coleman and Jack, were fantastic as they knew the areas well, anticipated problem spots, and expertly guided (and many times boosted, hoisted, lifted those of us who needed it) through the slots. Be prepared for mud and water, as we went a few days after a heavy rain. Overall, a must do if you are ok with moving through tight spaces and can manage some climbing, and just want to see nature at her best.
Great slot canyon adventure !

Excellent trip that we wouldn't have been able to do without our guide because of the difficulty in navigating the rocks.

Need to be in good condition. Deep sand to walk through and many spots in the canyons you had to maneuver over boulders by pulling yourself up. We did it but it was a struggle. The canyons were awesome and were we’re glad we did it.

Visiting the Escalante area, we booked a guided tour of Dry Creek, Peekaboo and Spooky slot Canyons with Roam Outdoors, and we are super glad we did. Many positives: 1) Tyler, our guide, was excellent. He made it possible for us to do these fairly challenging slot canyon traverses. We’re a couple in our 60’s and my wife isn’t an experienced scrambler. Getting into Peekaboo is challenging, and Tyler brought a rope and provided just the right encouragement so Joan could scale the entrance. He was patient and knowledgeable. He took many great pictures for us and shared great photography tips. 2) Tyler drove us out in a cool UTV. To get to these slot canyons you have to drive 25 miles down a gravel road with plenty of washboard and the UTV could fly down the road comfortably - and kind of exciting - while driving on our Subaru would have been painful. 3) Hiring a guide made sure we didn’t get lost and were safe. We saw other people explore the slot canyons and sure it could be done - however the trails aren’t THAT well marked and people regularly get turned around. With Tyler we were sure we were on the right path and could get through the tricky spots the best way. 4) I felt Roam communicated with us well and was very professional. It just seems like a top notch operation and for us a really good value. Highly recommended!

This tour was a good hike but a bit misleading. There was climbing involved that many cannot do. There is also a real size restriction that in my opinion should have been better publicized.
Simply stunning

The trip started with an off with a Hella fun utv ride and a short hike to the slot canyons. Once you get there OMG... what a great adventure! Seth was our guide and we could not have made it without him. The hike is as challenging as you want. Spooky is spooky but you dont have to go end to end. We stopped at the chimneys as it was something I'd leave to young people (I'm 65). We've been to zion and bryce and this was the best hike so far. It was an adventure.
Wonderful experience!

We had a great experience and guide, Tyler. . He was very knowledgeable and gave us different options, so that we were comfortable with what we were doing.
A “MUST DO”, once in a lifetime experience.

Mojo was an exceptional guide as we explored these 3 slot canyons. His patience and knowledge of navigating some tight passages made this hike possible for me and my husband. He lended a hand and sometimes a knee :) when we needed to scale some areas; we would not have been able to do without him. An incredible experience, don’t hesitate to book this excursion.
