Peek-A-Boo Slot Canyon
Utah · United States
Called by some as the “Mystical Canyon”, it’s no wonder that Peek-a-Boo is becoming more and more popular! This spectacular slot canyon is local to the Kanab area and though it is our most requested tour, it remains an excellent alternative to, or an addition to, the very crowded Antelope Canyon. On this tour, we are happy to let you take all the pictures you’d like. Though we are more and more likely to share the canyon with others, we are often alone here and the groups we see are just in passing. It is a pleasant experience with the time allotted for you to enjoy the marvels of a slot canyon.
