My brother invited my parents and I to check out this slot canyon in the San Rafael Swell area called Little Wild Horse during Labor Day Weekend. We were amazed and it was beautiful.
The hike wasn't that bad and pretty easy and my niece and nephews did it just fine and we even had a dog.
I think it was 3 miles out and back so the total was 6 miles or so. Even my 69 year old mother could hike it. My dad waited for us at the beginning of the hike so he didn't really see any of this stuff.
I thought the canyons were cool and I enjoyed it.
And this is what a little bit of rain can do. My brother, his two boys, and I were at the top part of the trail while the girls and the dog already turned around before we did. We started walking in a foot deep of water and the water was rushing from everywhere. Lot's of waterfalls and such. It was scary. People die from these things. After the first couple of slots, we found the girls with some other groups of people sitting at high ground in a more open area. We waited a couple hours for the water to settle down but we all still walked through 2 feet deep of water back out of all the slots. We all got soaking wet and good thing the water was very warm. What an experience!
Here is a video my brother recorded of myself and my nephews having a joy of experience through the slots in a flash flood. Enjoy!
