But instead of white, we were surrounded by deep shades of red and orange. It reminded us of the type of silence you experience after a heavy snow.

Visiting the canyon was a full sensory experience. Visiting Peekaboo Canyon was one of our most unique travel experiences. We spent three weeks traveling around Utah and Arizona, and Peekaboo Canyon was easily one of our trip highlights! (You can read more about our three-week road trip to Utah and Arizona here!) We decided to look for other slot canyons to visit during our road trip, and we were so glad we found Peekaboo Canyon because it is less crowded and just as beautiful! Thanks to Dreamland Safari Tours, we were able to access this spectacular canyon. (There are over a thousand of them!) We first learned about Peekaboo Canyon after finding out that the famous Antelope Canyon was closed during covid. Utah has more slot canyons than anywhere else in the world.

It is our most popular 7-8 hour tour.Peekaboo Canyon is a beautiful slot canyon located near Kanab, Utah. White Pocket offers a variety of formations and colors. White Pocket is a unique landscape where we wander around in the 1.5 square miles of white “brain rock”, and take in the amazing red, yellow, and orange swirls erupting out of the otherwise uniform out of this worldly formation. We rank the overall hike a 3/10 difficulty, unless you want to take a back route, then it’s a 6.The hike is as easy as you’d like it to be, but it is full exposure to the sun.About 70 miles (26 miles of dirt and sandy roads).For the “Best of Kanab Southwest Tour”, the Dinosaur Tracks are a great option!.A fun complement to the South Fork Pictographs.Easy to combine with the Rosie Canyon Petroglyphs.Although it is not technical at all, it is a great experience to marvel at the history of the rocks we walk on here! Our vote is that this is one of nature’s perfect yoga/meditation spots! We frequently hear, “I can’t believe I’m walking in the very place the dinosaurs walked! This is so cool!”. The tracks lie in a beautiful sandstone wash where you will feel remote and quiet.
