    Manti-La Sal National Forest

A unique slot canyon, both for its location far from Southern Utah, and its cliffs of conglomerate rather than sandstone. Minor obstacles include a few large boulders that can be bypassed by most hikers. The main trail ends at a tall waterfall that usually has very little water. There is usually a fixed rope there that can be used to climb the falls; the canyon above is not as impressive, but can be followed to the top.

Disclaimer

This trail is entirely on private property within Manti-La Sal National Forest, but public access has been officially granted. Please respect private landowners by taking care of the trail.
