Continutation from Zebra Slot Canyon just south of Escalante Utah. Tunnel makes a great loop from Zebra and they really should be done together. Tunnel Slot Canyon Utah early 2000's. Having worked at various casino operators over the years I wanted to start my own porrtal to help others find the best places to play.

Explore the depths of Southern Utah.
There is something magical and sobering about exploring slot canyons in Southern Utah. Hiking, swimming and sometimes squeezing through high sandstone walls carved by the elements over thousands of hundreds of thousands of years (you read that right) makes you keenly aware of how powerful the natural world around us is. Don't worry though, if the thought of squeezing through a 10-inch crevice 100 miles from civilization inspires panic like that time your brother zipped you into your sleeping bag while he watched Saturday morning cartoons (not cool, bro), there are plenty of incredible slot canyons like the Zion Narrows that don't require any squeezing. For the thrill seekers out there, there are several options to bring your rope and harness for some canyoneering. Whatever your speed is, a day spent exploring the cool, winding depths of any of these Utah slot canyons is one you won't regret. (Unless you're Aron Ralston. But he got to meet James Franco, so he probably came out ahead, too.)

I once cryptically named these slot canyons as 'Beautiful and Mysterious Slot Canyons', but now the mystery is sadly gone as they have described in guidebooks and on websites that have put Zebra and Tunnel Slot Canyon on the radar. The parking area by the main trailhead that didn't used to exist now commonly has a half dozen cars and I often encounter confused people trying to find their way using only GPS waypoints. By inviting those who don't read maps or know how to navigate in the wilderness, more folks get lost here than probably any other place in the Escalante Canyons. I digress… Zebra and Tunnel are still among the most beautiful slot canyons in southern Utah, so are still worth visiting. Both slots can be wet and cold, especially after flash floods, so you need river shoes. Zebra is particularly beautiful when the sunlight bounces off its red and white striped walls, looking like glowing curtains of rock. Traversing across fields of moqui marbles as we head toward Tunnel makes an interesting diversion. Tunnel is really strange because this slot doesn't open to the sky – hence that name. When I first discovered Tunnel one winter (beckoned by unusual topo lines), Lisa decided to go around while I went through. With echoes of splashing ice water, I emerged out of a dark vertical crevasse. Lisa said it looked like the Earth was giving birth to me – so one might truly say I have been reborn in the slickrock! On our hike, we will explore a candyland of slickrock domes and valleys. If you prefer solitude, I have several routes less traveled that lead to Zebra and Tunnel along washes having lots of waterpocket and flanked by coral pink sanddunes.
