2025 - West - Escalante - Dry Forks, Peekaboo & Spooky Slot Canyons - April 10

 4/10 - Vaughan, Jim & Jill went on a very exciting but difficult hike today.   Vaughan & I hiked Spooky a number of years back. I knew I would not be able to crawl up into Peekaboo so I stayed back at camp.

Sorry but these pictures will be out of order seeing they were taken by 3 different people with 3 phones.


This is the entry to the hike. Before you get all the way down to hike Spooky you must be able to fit between these two poles. It is an extremely tight slot.


This is the first slot - Dry Fork

In Spooky - Jill crawling under choke stones - had to slide down about 8 feet. At this point a chaperone to a group of kids had tried to jump down and broke his leg. They had to bring in a helicopter to take him out. These slots are a lot harder than most people think.

Here is the helicopter that brought in for the poor man that broke his leg.
