Kanab: Red Canyon / Peek-a-boo Canyon

  • von

Red Canyon, or as locals call it: Peek-a-boo, does not require any hiking to get to, but instead is an adventure that has the thrill of 4-wheeling on deep sand through a desert landscape of junipers, pinions, yuccas and cacti. The trip culminates with an easy stroll through a slender passage that will tantalize photographer and hiker alike with a visual array of warm reds, cool browns and hot oranges windswept into rippled and fluted sandstone walls. This is not the Peek-a-Boo slot canyon found in the Escalante area.

Prepare for driving in Deep Sand
Begin by loading your 4WD vehicle with refreshments and gasoline. Be sure to have an air compressor, so that if the need arises you can refill tires after releasing air pressure in order to „float“ over the deep sandy road. Bring a trash bag to haul out any trash you might have accumulated.
As of 2010 there are now 2 trailheads. An ATV club has provided a new one but in our travels it’s not the best of the two unless you are a hardcore four wheel driver. If you are looking on a map you will see the slot canyon marked as Red Canyon, but the locals have chose to call it Peek-a-Boo Slot Canyon, perhaps because of the nearby section of Dixie National Forest known as Red Canyon. This is also a 4WD area as well as the very nearby Coral Pink Sand Dunes. ATV enthusiasts will love this area between Kanab, Utah and Mt. Carmel Jct. Utah.
