This slot canyon is very short - less than a half mile long - but it's a pretty little hike that's full of all the typical red-rock beauty that this area offers.

Though the hike is short, make sure you've got plenty of water along, and check the weather report before entering the canyon. Flash floods are dangerous and can be deadly.
The canyon is simply beautiful, and the hiking is easy here. You won't find any tricky navigation or boulder scrambling - just a nice, easy stroll.

...and then you'll find yourself surrounded on three sides by the steep, curving walls of the canyon. The acoustics here are said to be nearly perfect. If you're lucky, a local musician or singer will be hanging out here, and you'll be treated to an impromptu concert. If you play an instrument or sing, you can make your own music!
