We had more days to explore the Escalante National Forrest area and more slot canyons. We had to drive down a 26 mile dirt road to the trailhead for this hike. Then we had to hike down to the wash floor. We took a wrong turn somewhere and found ourselves on a cliffside trying to find our way down. Austin and Evan took an adventurous way down which included a rope, but the rest of us kept looking for anther way down.
Eventually we all got down and hiked through Spooky canyon. This slot canyon was not near as spectacular as Antelope, but it was still neat. It was a much longer canyon and we hiked about 1 hour through this one to the end of it. We tried to find our way around to a nearby canyon, but we couldn't find a way through the cliffs and ended up running back through the canyon so we could get to the start of the other one.
We were thinking about skipping another slot canyon, but we are SO glad we didn't. Peek A Boo canyon was so different and really fun. You started with a climb up to the opening of the canyon and from there you twisted through small spaces and climbed up boulders...the kids really loved this one.

Duane would love to do that! I may be persuaded to join in the fun too!
