Words cannot describe this hike.....I think I ended up having an out of body experience. I am ashamed to admit that I was expecting this hike to be slightly anti-climactic. So much hype from everyone kind of builds up your expectations and then usually it doesn't end well. This area went WAY beyond anything I expected.
We started out mid-morning since we really wanted the sun overhead to get the best photos. We ended up heading in on the north side of the wash. We looped around to the south side of the wash for the way out and saved the best part of the wave for the end. It was such a cool place.
I can't wait to get lucky enough to get another permit and go back!!

Beautiful slot canyon but I wish they let you go into the canyon alone. The "guide" was nice but she really rushes you through. Nice canyon for those that don't otherwise get to see the slots around the Paria area.

Spent some time in the area and decided to check this out. Thanks to Rick Vincent for the detailed info on the side canyon!!! I only got to spend a few hours and see a small portion of what is out there. I am already planning another trip to spend more time in the area!!

First time out this year with my large multi-day pack. It really kicked my pumpkin. It made me realize that I am spending to much time at the office and not out hiking!!
