Travel: Willis Creek Slot Canyon, 1 of 2

Robert writes, "One of the highlights of our recent trip was hiking this slot canyon. It is reported the state has over a 1,000 of them, with many of the more popular ones in the southern portion of the state. Willis Creek slot canyon is around 23 miles from Bryce Canyon National Park. Leaving the main paved road, the final 6 mile gravel road has some steep, somewhat spooky-at the edge of cliffs driving, along with washboard roads...well you soon start to second guess yourself if this was such a good idea.
But if you settle your nerves, and complete the drive, the payoff is worth it in the end. It is a beautiful slot canyon. We racked up 2.7 miles in total hiking. I believe there were 5 sections of slots, and each one seemed to get better than the last. We turned around when they seemed to be ending, but were told they continue if you hike further down the trail." Comments | Permalink
