Hike
This great little slot canyon is officially Red Slot Canyon but is also referred to as Peekaboo Canyon. It is not to be confused with Peek-a-boo Canyon near Spooky Gulch. It's not really very long but it is a fun area to explore. The road to get there is very sandy! Do NOT try and take your non 4 wheel drive vehicle down this road. 4 miles of deep sand to it if just hiking out. Lots of ATV and horse trails.
More Information
Be courteous, informed, and prepared. Read trailhead guidelines, stay on the trail, and don't feed the wildlife.
