Our first time, very nice canyons with easy climbing. When we got back to the parking lot, one of the other cars (big SUV) had its driver's side window shattered and all money, phone etc stolen from it - sad way to end such a beautiful hike. DO NOT LEAVE ANYTHING IN YOUR CAR!

The hike here is absolutey amazing, however there are THIEVES in the area and we just had our Yukon broken into today. There was nothing in site to give them any reason to break in.

It's a great place to hike if you want to challenge yourself, the ladders aren't as scary as they sound, just make sure that you have a partner in case you need a little "boost" or lift. I am glad I did it, it gets hot there so early morning is the best.

Amazing area - great views of the Sultan Sea. Definately stop on the way for Date Shakes. Some of the ladders were intense but the work is worth it

Slot canyon easy hiking, then opportunities to make the hike really interesting with lots of vertical adventure up the ladders into side canyons and routes. Spectacular geology and color in the swirling rock patterns
