Changing it Up, Again…
When you travel, adventure, and fly by the sCeat of your pants, you sometimes have no idea what you are getting yourself into. While staying near Kanab, Utah, a heat wave set in. The temperatures were near 100 degrees. We decided to throw all our plans out the window and head north to cooler temperatures. However, we had a few sights we wanted to see before we left Kanab, including the Sand Caves, Moqui Cave, Peek-a-boo Slot Canyon, and the Belly of the Dragon. So, we hiked to the Sand Caves first thing, Afterwards we stopped by Moqui Cave before heading to the Peek-a-boo Slot Canyon parking lot.
Peek-A-Boo Canyon Advice
The Moqui Cave was awesome. However, after exploring the cave, we went into the gift shop and actually talked to the owner. And, boy, are we glad we did! He asked us where we were headed next and we told him Peek-a-boo Slot Canyon. When he asked what type of vehicle we had and we told him a F350 Dually, he said, “you will never make it”. When we asked him about hiking to it, he said that it would be a rough hike in the sand. So, he informed us about the Jeep and UHV tours through ROAM https://www.roam-outdoor.com/. He had a couple seats available for a Jeep Tour in little over an hour. So, we said yes and he booked us on the next Jeep Tour. It was worth every penny!
Jeep Tour with ROAM
The Jeep was so much fun in the sand, bouncing and washboarding, and our guide was amazing. On the way to the slot canyon, we passed several single wheel trucks (one being a diesel) stuck in the sand. Our guide stopped and offered waters to all those stuck. While touring the slot canyon, we ran into a few people who had hiked in, and, again, we were glad we had picked the Jeep Tour. The hike looked rough, especially in 100 degree Celsius temperature. Peek-a-Boo Slot Canyon near Kanab, Utah, is gorgeous! If you plan to visit it, book a tour. It is more fun that trying to drive or hike to it. Our guide was awesome, and would take pictures for us at the most epic spots. The guides for ROAM grew up in Kanab and know the canyon and area really well. They will give you information on how the slot canyon has changed and ideas on other cool places to see in the area. This was our first Jeep Tour ever, and we had such a blast. We love talking to people who know an area we are visiting because we usually get some great information. We believe asking a lot of stupid questions is a great way to learn new adventures.
