Devil's Garden was full of some really cool sandstone formations. It is kind of like a miniature Goblin Valley. There were several rocks that drew out attention, none more that a group of four towers someone deemed "the four lesbians". I don't take any responsibility for that idea, but you tell me what you think.After playing with the Devil, we headed off on our slot canyon adventure. It took us a little while to find the turnoff but we eventually found the trailhead. The hike was appox. 1 mile to get to the entrances of the slot canyons. It wasn't a bad hike, except for the fact that it was 90 degrees and we started about 2 pm. To enter Peekaboo, you've got to scramble up into the canyon, about ten feet off the ground. There is a log and some handholds to get you through it. What an amazing canyon. Full of twists and turns, it keeps getting narrower and narrower. I think that canyon is half a mile long and then you turn around and head back.
Spooky really lived up to it's name. I was lucky to make it through that one. There was one point where I was stuck. I tried three times to get my fat butt through the pathway, but I was butt-to-gut against the walls of the canyon. After some pretty intense stomach manipulation I forced my way through the tough spot and continued on to the end. Kurt wasn't so lucky. He's about 20 pounds heavier that I am, and that's what did him in. It was an amazing canyon and I'm glad I forced my way to the top. I left Spooky with a hole in my shirt, torn on the rock from my tricky spot, and a real sense of achievement having maneuvered my way through the tite canyon.
