Not because it requires endurance, but because it requires scrambling, some climbing, and long hikes through deep, icy water in very narrow (10 inches wide or less) passages. You spend a few miles walking through formations that look a good deal like the elusive Wave formation… The hike through the actual slot canyon, however, is relatively challenging. The hike is short and relatively easy, but it’s one of the coolest hikes I’ve been on. Zebra slot is the first slot canyon you come to, not far down Hole in the Rock Road. Hole in the Rock is a long, dirt road, but it’s well taken care of so you shouldn’t need 4 wheel-drive, barring inclement weather conditions.
All three are located on Hole in the Rock Road within Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument.
Zebra Slot Canyon in Grand Staircase EscalanteĪfter hiking Antelope Canyon, I assumed I’d seen the pinnacle of slot canyons… That was until I learned about Zebra Spooky, and Peek-a-Boo slots (I wrote about Spooky and Peek-a-Boo in another post).
