Todd Hata and I continue our Utah adventures with a slot canyon that's just north of Kanab. To get to it you need to either drive with a 4x4 or hike 3 miles in the sand. Peekaboo Canyon is free to go to and looks amazing. A great alternative to Antelope Canyon which is 90 miles away. The best part was that we had it all to ourselves. Add Peekaboo Canyon to your list when you go to Utah.
Note that this is NOT the Peekaboo Canyon near the town of Escalante.

It is very dry and sandy, but it was/is formed by flash floods. Be sure to check the weather in any nearby (50 miles or so) uplands. If it rains there - floods will come through the canyon. They can kill you!

Just adding this for anyone who may not have a four wheel drive vehicle to get back to the canyon. My wife and I walked from the parking lot off of 89 and it turned into a 7.5 mile walk (to the canyon and back) in the loosest sand. It was very beautiful in peak a boo canyon and all, just putting this out there because based on reviews we thought it was a mile or so to the canyon.

@DaveOnArrival 5 лет назад

Yeah, it's way more than a mile. I hope you and your wife packed enough water to stay hydrated.

@DadBodDrumming 4 года назад

From what I understand, there is a secondary trail head that non 4 wheel drive vehicles can access. Then hike through the sand to this trail head.

@magicalunicorn5853 3 года назад

Where is the 2nd trailhead? I don’t have a 4x4.

@stluffy_cat7475 2 года назад

Thanks. I hope we find it tomorrow and see this miracle.

@thesadtraveler6811 6 лет назад

Definitely adding this to my Utah List. I love visiting places that are off the beaten path.

@DaveOnArrival 6 лет назад

There are plenty of those in Utah

@Rapaglia1 2 года назад

We just hiked this a few weeks ago. We were visiting from Texas. So it was really cool seeing the video of the drive in, and through the canyon again. It made me reminisce from our vacation. Thanks for this!

@DaveOnArrival 2 года назад

Thanks for watching 😀 I like to reminisce too

@cbishop7777 6 лет назад

Wow, great footage and a beautiful spot! Excellent job putting together an interesting adventure.

@DaveOnArrival 6 лет назад

Thank you!

@briantravelman 6 лет назад

Oh wow. You're right. It looks really similar. Thanks for sharing this

@DaveOnArrival 6 лет назад

You're welcome

@cindybarton9130 2 года назад

We were there several years ago and bore the deep sand, but made it just fine. Short, but interesting. There were some small holes carved in the wall that showed up in these pics and not commented on so maybe you didn't notice them. Somehow poles were attached into them by the Indians that led up to some grain storage high up on the rock.

@DaveOnArrival 2 года назад

I was not aware of that fact. Wow

@atraillesstaken 5 лет назад

Not you be confused with Peek a Boo canyon in Escalante, Utah down Hole in the Rock road, which sees much more traffic.

@DaveOnArrival 5 лет назад

Yes, absolutely. This is not the Escalante Peek-a-boo canyon.

@boyfester 3 года назад

Thanks! I was wondering how you were able to drive to the trailhead.

@patmckenney8931 2 года назад

I think you missed the Peek a Boo Canyon itself. This looks like the one you come to first before you get to peek a boo. Spooky and Peek a Boo are more challenging and much longer. However, you did a nice job putting together this video.

@onebrilliantgirl Год назад

There are two different slot canyons named Peek a Boo in Utah. The slots canyons you are referring to, Peek A Boo and Spooky are located outside of Escalante and are harder to get to. That is true. The canyon featured in this video is indeed in Kanab and has been reported accurately.

@adventurelifewithbob2960 Год назад

Just posted a video on my visit to Peekaboo slot Canyon last week. This is an amazing place.

@theheadsadventure2632 3 года назад

@DaveOnArrival 6 лет назад

Almost like that, yeah

@septembertwenty-nine9989 3 месяца назад

This slot canyon is not to be confused with the Peek-a-Boo Slot Canyon/Spooky Gulch that is near Escalante, Utah. Both are free, but the road to the Peek-a-boo with Spooky Gulch doesn't have deep sand and the slots are much narrower. There appears to be more color in the walls of Kanab's Peek-a-boo.

@thecaptain6994 5 месяцев назад

Were you able to drive all the way to the entrance of Picaboo Slot Canyon or was there some hiking involved to get there? Thanks!

@DaveOnArrival 5 месяцев назад

We drove all the way to the entrance.

@silvertopaz72 6 лет назад

Total awesome Dave like always my young friend. So beautiful and peaceful. Did you do any night Filming of the sky in the dark sky areas? Would love to see the footage if so. Maybe you could show this type of video, while telling any story's of your travels that didn't get into videos, like what keep you going, what moves you. Thank you for sharing your life. Take care.

@DaveOnArrival 6 лет назад

Unfortunately, we were too busy to do night photography there, though that eod have been cool. Thanks for your suggestions, I'll keep that in mind.

@boomersboomers 5 лет назад

We love Kanab!! 😘 Great video!!

@loudowning3393 2 года назад

I'm forced to say that I was quite disappointed with this "peekaboo " slot that I visited 11/2021. I've been in many other slot canyons and didn't feel the time to drive down and back up was with the effort. Very short and when I was there it was populated with tour guide people. But your experience was different. Sorry to be negative about it but that's my two cents worth

@natashagro736 4 года назад

Hi! thank you for this video and amaaazig spot! We are about to go to Kanab and I am trying to figure out how far this spot from Kanab is and how to find it, maybe you could give some advice how to find it! thanks again :) all the best

@DaveOnArrival 4 года назад

It's about 10 miles north of the city. Best thing to do is get a map from the Kanab Visitor's Center

@headlessspaceman5681 2 года назад

Your own private slot canyon. That you put on a youtube channel. I hope nobody else ever goes there expecting to have solace or solitude. This is where frat guys get in fist fights because they're going the wrong way down the slot and there's no room to pass each other. True story.

@leidynatalia6737 2 года назад

This place looks majestic! I have a question. Is my Toyota RV4 good for that road?

@DaveOnArrival 2 года назад

If it is 4 wheel drive then it should be good

@tammybrooke3605 2 года назад

@@DaveOnArrival My RAV4 is an AWD. Is that okay?

@efone3553 Год назад

@tammy brooke just wondering if u made it up this trail in your rav4 with awd. I will be here in a few days with my jeep renegade trailhawk. If I have to I might just hike in from the parking lot.

@nichts0815 11 месяцев назад

I was there 3 weeks ago, I had no high clearance 4 wheeldrive car, so I walked the first 4 km in deep sand . This was hard.😁

@DaveOnArrival 11 месяцев назад

Oy. I'll bet it was tough

@nichts0815 11 месяцев назад

@@DaveOnArrival Yes, it was exhausting (sunny and 80 degrees). A few people stopped along the way and asked if everything was ok and if I had enough water with me. On the way back I was picked up 1km from the parking lot.

@irinalitvinova2259 4 года назад

Hi, awesome video, so you didn't get a guide or a permit to go in there? how many hours did it take you to hike the peakaboo canyon? some people say its 4 hours.

@DaveOnArrival 4 года назад

No guide or permit needed. The canyon is a pretty short hike and can be done in under an hour unless you're hiking from the road. Maybe they were talking about the peekaboo canyon near Escalante that takes 4 hours?

@iianeii 4 года назад

Ugh I'm here but we are leaving tomorrow! Wish I knew about this cuz our Antelope tour was cancelled 😭

@DaveOnArrival 4 года назад

Now you know for next time 😉

@magicalunicorn5853 3 года назад

How long did the whole trip in the canyon take you? What time did you go?

@DaveOnArrival 3 года назад

You can walk to the end of the canyon and back in 1 hour. We went early morning

@gissellewarren9576 Год назад

How long is the hike?

@DaveOnArrival Год назад

From the start of the canyon, maybe 15 minutes 1 way if you don't stop to take a bunch of photos

@sophiesureval 3 года назад

Hey do you have the coordinates for this location?? Would this be the one they offer in Kanab as a tour???

@DaveOnArrival 3 года назад

I don't have the coordinates. If there is a tour out of Kanab for peek-a-boo canyon it is most likely for this one.

@lifeshouldbeinteresting 4 года назад

How much time would you recommend here? Like from the time we park at dry fork trailhead, how much total time do we need?

@DaveOnArrival 4 года назад

You're talking about the Peekaboo canyon near Escalante. This is the one near Kanab. I haven't been to dry fork trailhead so I can't tell you how much time you'll need.

@lifeshouldbeinteresting 4 года назад

@@DaveOnArrival I see that now. Actually, I think we may want to also stop at the one you were at near Kanab as well. To get to that, must we hike from Red Canyon Slot trailhead just off of highway 89 or can we drive (with an awd vehicle) back closer to the slot?

@DaveOnArrival 4 года назад

It would be a long and tiring hike from the highway. If your AWD can handle deep sand you should try to park close to the canyon entrance
