Exploring My First Ever Slot Canyons
A little south of Bryce National Park is a section of Utah I wanted to explore this year. Today I'm off to explore the Belly of the Dragon, Elkheart Canyon Slot Canyons, and Red Canyon where Peekaboo Slot Canyons sits. It's a bunch of adventuring but all three sites are right along route 89 in southern Utah and are easy to get to. Well, Peekaboo isn't easy to get to but it'll be an off roading adventure as well and a true test of my 4runner.
For the night I camp out at Stateline Campground which sits right along the border of Utah and Arizona and is the site of the norther terminus of the Arizona Trail. I thru hiked all 788 miles or so in 2021 and I always wanted to come back to see it again.

Felt really special to see the Peekaboo footage, since it's less accessible. Thanks for sharing!
I liked that your stopped -- turn around and looked behind you -- and then resumed your hiike.
History. Belly of the Dragon is a cave-like tunnel that is actually man-made! It was originally created to divert water under HWY89, but over time, drainage from upper canyon water flow has carved the walls and created a picturesque rippling tunnel of sandstone, now known as Belly of the Dragon.
Great video with lots of great beautiful views, so let's keep on hiking
I am surprised that these videos are not getting more views. Beautifully shot and quite the travelouge.
Thanks, Jay.
That slot canyon was surreal. And knowing how it gets formed makes it more intriguing.

Totally! Just examining how the rock is shaped and imagining water swirling along the surface wearing it down to its current form is amazing.
Awesome! I've always wanted to visit some slot canyons.
So incredible, never seen this before. Thanks for sharing!!
Love the name of the place
Awesome!
You're right to trust your instincts, if it looks dangerous, it probably is. The second canyon was the better adventure. Thanks.
I understand, I thought I see a route up but, if you aren't confident in your route, don't do it.
