Peek-A-Boo Canyon

Kent & I love adventuring in the great outdoors; Southern Utah has so much to offer. Saturday morning we headed for Zion National Park, our intent was not to hike, but to pass through on our way to HWY 89. South of Mt. Carmel Junction we left the highway and began our journey. We knew the road required 4-wheel drive; the deep sand made us a little nervous....the 4Runner did great! Peek-A-Boo Canyon is one of many slot canyons in the area. The colors and textures of the sandstone were different at every turn as the slot twists and narrows, just beautiful. We continued along Angel Canyon Road on our way to Kanab; where we enjoyed a Mexican lunch at Nedra's. Further down the highway, we drove through the community of Moccasin on our way to Pipe Springs National Monument. It was a great day to get outdoors, can't wait for our next adventure.

Today we are headed to Peek-A-Boo Canyon

We drove through Zion National Park on the way

The sand was very deep in places, 4-wheel drive is the only way to go

We parked in Red Canyon Wash

We are heading towards the slot canyon

Peek-A-Boo is just up ahead

Beautiful sandstone

Kent will soon disappear from sight

He's in there somewhere

It was quite narrow in places

Just to prove we were here

Bits of sand floated down on us from above

Had to get a picture of this sign . . . for our son, Andrew

Next time we will stop here when they are open

Nice mural at Muley Crazy

Pretty barn in Kanab

We drove through Moccasin, AZ just out of curiosity

We were surprised at the old homesteads here
