Hike
Slickhorn Canyon (Perfect Kiva), Cedar Mesa, Utah
View Original Description
Slickhorn Canyon drains the southwest side of Cedar Mesa and eventually meeting the San Juan River. The upper part splits into four forks, all containing Anasazi ruins and pictographs. The first (northernmost) fork of Slickhorn Canyon contains the most ruins, some small, and including the most famous site in the area, Perfect Kiva. The second fork has only a couple of granaries, while the third and fourth both each have one good site towards the lower end.
Day hiking in the canyons of Cedar Mesa and Comb Ridge requires a day hiking pass, available online at rec.gov or with cash at many trailheads.
