Must-See Slot Canyons in Utah's Canyon Country

Thanks for watching my expert 2-minute tour on Utah’s Canyon Country. This video features the top 3 non-technical slot canyons for beginners. You don’t need ropes for these amazing adventures, but you do need some safety know-how. Fortunately, I wrote a guide to beginner canyoneering for Backpacker Magazine. Check it out here: https://www.backpacker.com/skills/how... You want to make sure you use a tool like weather.gov to check for rain in the forecast. Rain causes deadly flash floods - water in slot canyons can quickly reach 30-40 feet high, essentially drowning you before you have a chance to escape. Therefore it’s essential to stay out of slot canyons if there is ANY rain in the forecast within a 30-mile radius of a slot canyon. Look up canyon at drainage systems too! It can be sunny where you are and raining up canyon where flooding can start. Rule number 1 when visiting the desert is DON’T BUST THE CRUST! That weird, raised, bumpy soil you see is alive. It’s called cryptobiotic soil and it is an integral part of preventing erosion and allowing for plant life to thrive in the desert. It is fragile and stepping on it will ruin years of development. Stay on marked trails when possible. If you do venture into the backcountry, pay attention to where you’re walking. Camp and walk on hard surfaces where possible. See all of my amazing resources down below for how to have a safe, respectful visit to Utah’s slot canyons.

And you should be inspired by BOTH. I intentionally use photos and videos that have been edited for color and lighting, and ones that haven’t. All the photos and videos you see of Utah were taken by me. I rarely edit other people out of photos (and I would make a note here if I did!). ✨ Time stamps: 00:00 - Intro 00:22 - slot canyon safety 00:38 - Little Wild Horse Canyon in the San Rafael Swell 01:05 - Wire Pass to Buckskin Gulch 01:49 - Spooky and Peek-a-boo Gulch in Escalante 02:22 - outro 02:39 - outtake
