Slot Canyons Around Moab Utah
At 21 miles long, Buckskin Gulch holds the title as the longest navigated of the Utah slot canyons. Hikers can navigate the dark, winding narrows on a two-day backpacking trip, with a recommended 13.5 miles on day one, and 7.5 miles on day two. Answer 1 of 14: We will be visiting Moab mid June. Looking for advice on slot canyons to hike for a 1/2 to full day. Our whole trip is about 11 days and we will be traveling down to Zion and Bryce as well so we really dont have a preference on location.
Entrajo Canyon Moab Entrajo Canyon (en-TRAH-ho) is named after the sandstone layers in which it is found. The upper canyon section is Entrada sandstone and the lower canyon section is Navajo sandstone. You pass through a very distinct boundary between these two layers while traveling down the canyon. This short but fun slot canyon packs a big punch into a small package. |

SGR Canyon, aka S#@! Got Real Canyon, is a very different type of canyon than any other canyon I have done in Moab. The canyon is a physical day of elevation gain, route finding, high stemming, and rappels, very unique for Moab.
Of the people that I know who have done it, comments have ranged from 'amazing!' to 'meh.'. I would lean more toward the 'amazing!' side of the spectrum. Though the actual canyon sections are short, they are unique, beautiful, and well worth the effort to visit.
Given the length of the day, do this one in spring or fall when temperatures are more moderate. It would be unbearably hot in the summer, and snow or ice on the approach in the winter will make reaching the canyon difficult or impossible. Primitive camping in the area is excellent.
Due to the logistics of the stemming/rappels, small groups size recommended.
