Sometimes, if the water was too deep, Brent would go find some big rocks for us to step on instead of having to wade through the puddle. He even showed us these star fossils in the rocks. The Jeep trail ends at the mouth of the slot canyon, making it an easy. He would tell us super cool facts about the trail and show us where all the epic photo places were. After only a few miles of trail we arrived at Peek-a-boo, also known as Red Slot. Now, as I said, I’ve never had a guided tour. Since it was a slot canyon and in the middle of winter, I wasn’t too worried about them getting lost. The kids were already scrambling all around. My husband grew up in Southern Utah and I’ve been converted to the love of red rocks. We’ve talked about it before, but we really do love Red Rocks. It's very kid friendly with only a few small spots to climb over smaller boulders. So we were just going to have to do some light footwork. Luckily, I had packed all the kids some boots, unlucky for my husband and I…I forgot our boots. Once we got out to the trailhead, we were the only ones! It had just snowed that night, so there was plenty of mud. Especially in the summer months, when the sand it super soft and deep. Our guide, Brent, did tell us that many time a year, they have to pull people’s vehicles out of the sand. So we probably could have driven our Land Cruiser out there, but it’s always nice to have someone else drive who knows the terrain. We were super excited for our first guided hiking tour! We loved partnering with Kane County, they know ALL the things to do! I mean…who wouldn’t love a guided tour! Not only that, but we got to ride around in a high clearance vehicle! While you can drive out to Peekaboo Slot Canyon trailhead, you do need a good 4WD.
