Peek-A-Boo Slot Canyon Tour

An easy guided walk through one of Southern Utah's most beautiful hidden canyons — reached by a scenic ride across the coral-pink sand, with optional sandboarding along the way.

The glowing red walls of Peek-A-Boo Slot Canyon near Kanab, Utah

Peek-A-Boo is a hidden slot canyon tucked into the backcountry about nine miles north of Kanab — tall, curving walls of red Navajo sandstone that glow when the light drops in from above. It's one of the easiest slot canyons in Southern Utah to walk, and because it's protected by miles of deep sand, it stays quiet when busier canyons are packed. This tour takes you the whole way: out across the dunes, into the canyon on foot, and back — with a local guide handling the driving and sharing what makes this place special.

Before you book

Questions, answered

How hard is the walk through the canyon?
Easy — about a mile round trip on flat, sandy ground with no climbing or scrambling. Comfortable for kids, grandparents, and anyone in between.
Can I drive to Peek-A-Boo Slot Canyon myself?
The canyon is reached by about four miles of deep sand that regularly strands cars, trucks, and even some 4x4s. A guided tour means someone who knows the route drives you in and out — no risk to your vehicle.
Is this the Peek-A-Boo near Kanab or the one in Escalante?
Ours is the Peek-A-Boo near Kanab — a wide, easy, glowing-red slot canyon. It's a different place from the Peek-A-Boo in Escalante, which involves ladders and tight scrambling. Ours is the relaxed, family-friendly one.
What should I bring and wear?
Closed-toe shoes, sunscreen, a hat, and water. We provide bottled water and sandboarding gear. Bring a camera or phone — the canyon is one of the most photogenic spots in Southern Utah.
Can I book for today?
Often yes, depending on the season. Give us a call or text and we'll get you on the next available tour — peak season fills up, so earlier is better.
