Not a fan of Nevada's slots ??? You'll be fond of Anniversary Narrows!
Southern Nevada's own slot canyon, Anniversary Narrows is approximately
150 yards to about a quarter-mile long. Although the terrain is gentle,
the deep sand of Lovell Wash and at least two 'Class III' places within the narrows make this slot a challenge - far away from the other slots in
'Sin City' to the immediate west.
The top or north end of Anniversary Narrows opens up into a canyon cutting into a rocky multi-hued basin. If you're backpacking into the Muddy
Mountains Wilderness Area, there's several nice places to camp. Please
avoid camping near water. Please do not camp in Lovell Wash or in the
narrows. Not only is there a flash-flood risk during storms, but your
presence will prevent wildlife from walking through on their regular
commute to nearby Lake Mead.
