A rocky wash trail with bouldering and red sand.
Navigate this challenging desert wash to a spectacular dead end canyon that offers majestic red rock walls with flying hawks overhead.

Saint George Narrows
The hidden slot canyon no one knows about.
Not to be confused with its neighbor – Hellhole Canyon – which is on the opposite side of the road, this lesser known hidden slot finds itself midway inside tiny Hells Canyon. What seems to be a lackluster beginning quickly fades once you navigate the sage brush tracks and drop down into the wash. Shortly, you will round the first major bend where you will find the hidden slot canyon. It isn’t lengthy, but it really offers some majestic photographic eye candy.
