Zebra and Tunnel Slot Canyons Escalante, Utah.
Zebra and Tunnel Slot Canyons in Escalante, Utah are unique. The banding in the sandstone in Zebra is not like many other slots. The colors are different and nature's design is one of a kind.
Although the canyon is very short it has a lot to offer to the photographer. A crow has taken up residence and made quite a mess down one wall but we did not find it in the way. Another hiker who was there early in the morning commented on the racket the bird was making.
Since this slot is so short and you return the way back down the canyon it may be a good idea to travel in and out in small groups. In other words take turns so everyone can enjoy and photograph. There is little to no room in this narrow gulch.
Tunnel is not that photogenic. It is just like the name, more of a tunnel with little light. It has a spooky feel to it. There was waste deep water when I was there and it was very cold. The trip is only a few hundred feet long. I found it to be quite fun.
One thing that stands out about this trip is the walk to and from. It is a very pretty hike. Another thing I found interesting was the Moki marbles or balls that litter the wash.

Nate and Steph are a couple of crazy adventurers who decided that life was too short to spend their time and money accumulating stuff. So, they set out in an RV in January 2016 to travel North America and replace their stuff with experiences. In March 2017, they sold their RV and bought a Sprinter Van, which they built out into a campervan to continue their travels and adventures in #vanlife style.
Both originally from the small town of Blanchard, Oklahoma, Nate and Steph enjoy learning about new cultures and experiencing different ways of life across the world. They like to meet new people from all walks of life and just sit and have a beer with whoever shows up. It's all about spontaneity in this life!
They travel with their two pups, Pyros and Sparta, who have become great travelers and adventure pups as well.

Zebra Canyon, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument
Here's the shot I got:
Late May 2011 hike into Zebra and Tunnel Canyons, two very unique and interesting slots canyons in the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. If you're headed out there, bring a map and a compass or someone who's been there before because it's easy to get lost!
S1:E7 - Explore Utah By RV (Zion National Park to Zebra Slot Canyon)
Join us as we explore the slot canyons and wide open spaces of Utah! The state is ripe for outdoor adventure! Whether spending a week in one of the 5 National Parks in Utah, or exploring the many off-the-beaten path trails, there is plenty of adventure to be found all across the state!
⌘⌘ IN THIS EPISODE ⌘⌘
In this episode we begin in the southwest corner of the state, having left Las Vegas en route to Colorado. Our first stop is Zion National Park, one of the 5 spectacular National Parks in Utah. Because National Parks are not dog-friendly and it is too hot already in early May to leave our pup Everest in the camper, we just briefly explore the park. If we could hike with Everest we could have spent a full week exploring the many trails in Zion National Park.
After leaving Zion we follow the backroads on our way to visit Bryce Canyon National Park. We made a quick trip through Bryce Canyon as well. This time we left Everest in the camper for a few hours so that we could hike the famous ____ trail.
Of course, with so much open space in the state we could not help but to find a comfortable place to boondock for the night! Utah is full of Bureau of Land Management (BML) camping and use of the iOverlander mobile app will help you find the best places to get away from stuffy and costly campgrounds.
Another advantage of boondocking in the wilderness was the opportunity to be closer to the slot canyons that we were eager to explore! We spent a full day hiking out and playing in the famous Zebra Slot Canyon just outside of Escalante. See the links below for photos and information about how to get there!

Willis Creek Slot Canyon
A virtual tour and hike through Willis Creek Slot Canyon near Bryce Canyon, Utah. Read the complete story at our BackRoadsWest Trip Blog at
Hiking Willis Creek Slot Canyon is easy. Of all the slot canyons that we've been to in the Southwest (and there have been dozens), this one, by far, gives you the most bang for your buck. It's easy to get to and, even though it requires driving on a dirt road, a standard automobile should have no problems. And, unlike other slot canyons, you simply walk into it from where you park your car -- no ropes, ladders or rock scrambling.

Dritter Slot Canyon an diesem Tag: der Zebra Slot Canyon. Auch dieser ist richtig toll und ähnlich eng wie der Spooky! Solche Tage sind genau nach unserem Geschmack :-)
Live #12 - Escalante Slot Canyons, USA
I only ended up in Escalante, Utah, because it became too dark to hitch hike to my final destination. The lady giving me a ride was so nice to offer me her spare house to sleep in and also told me about the Slot canyons in the area, which was perfect news for me after having missed the famous Antelope Slot Canyon. I ended up staying two nights to explore the Zebra, Dry Fork, Peek-A-Boo & Spooky Slot Canyons.

Spooky Gulch Slot Canyon Escalante, Utah June 2013
6 year old Sophia and 3 year old Jacoby giving a tour of the amazing Spooky Gulch Slot canyon found 26 miles off Hole in the Rock road near Escalante, Utah. We started at Peekaboo Canyon and looped back down Spooky Gulch, this 3.5 mile hike is amazing and kids will love it!
Moqui Marble Madness and Zebra Slot Canyon
Here are some clips from roaming around between Old Sheffield Road and Hole in the Rock Road outside of Escalante, UT. Moqui marbles are iron oxide concretions that formed within the Navajo Sandstone, then as the sandstone eroded the 'marbles' were left sitting on top. Water and time have collected what must be millions of them in these basins...quite an amazing, peculiar thing to see.

The Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument is a U.S. National Monument protecting 1,880,461 acres (760,996 ha)[1] of land in southern Utah.
There are three main regions: the Grand Staircase, the Kaiparowits Plateau, and the Canyons of the Escalante - all of which are administered by the Bureau of Land Management as part of the National Landscape Conservation System. President Bill Clinton designated the area as a national monument in 1996 using his authority under the Antiquities Act. Grand Staircase-Escalante encompasses the largest land area of all U.S. National Monuments.

The western part of the Monument is dominated by the Paunsaugunt Plateau and the Paria River, and is adjacent to Bryce Canyon National Park. This section shows the geologic progression of the Grand Staircase. Features include the slot canyons of Bull Valley Gorge, Willis Creek, and Lick Wash which are accessed from Skutumpah Road.
