Hike Big Horn Slot Canyon, Utah
Big Horn Slot Canyon is a tributary of Harris Wash in a rarely explored part of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. The canyon deepens quickly, eventually reaching a depth of 400 feet, and forms slot-like channels of varying narrowness mixed with wider, flat sections.
It goes miles through hilly, shrub-covered land between the wash, the Escalante River and highway UT 12.
WARNING: Slot canyons are particularly dangerous due to the risk of flash floods. Storms far away can send walls of water down the narrow canyons and hikers have been killed in such events. In many slot canyons, it can be miles before a safe exit or rescue is possible. Hikers should check conditions carefully and not rely on seeing the sky to judge the weather. If there is even a slight chance of rain, do not enter slot canyons.
