Overview

3B I

This is a fun, short, beautiful route as it twists and drops through deep, narrow, and scultped sandstone. It can hold some water evidently, as my 2nd time in it had at least a couple chest deep pools. First time in it was completely dry. Ease of access and proximity to paved hi-way make it a fun pit stop if you have 2-3 hours to spare.

Getting There

From Utah 95 just north of the Colorado River take NP633, the dirt road to the Maze district of Canyonlands NP, ~1.3-.4 miles and park where appropriate.

Camping

Lots of good camping in the vicinity. You're still in BLM land here so appropriate etiquette applies.

Route

From your vehicle head south, south-east to the head of this short canyon and let the fun begin. Once the slot is over exits are shortly down canyon.
