Hike Info:

Peek-a-boo slot canyon is a great day hike if you can find it. It is a good idea to check with the rangers station in the town of Escalante to see what the water level is. In early March there could be some water to negotiate.  As with any slot canyon, do not try this hike if the forecast calls for rain.  From the trail head, walk down into the obvious canyon, following the cairns to a sandy slope (fun to go down but tough coming back up). Once on the canyon floor, walk south for about 200 yards. On the left is a 15ft. high wall with some small arches at the top and possibly some water at the base. Climb up here on some steps that area carved into the sanstone or click HERE to see how to avoid this climb. Follow the slot crawling under the arches and through the potholes. This is one of the best hikes I have done in the park. At the end, you come out into a dry wash. You can turn back or go right, looking for cairns that will take you up the hill and across the desert to the entrance of Spooky slot canyon.
