Peekaboo Canyon
Utah · BLM · Southwest Region
Peekaboo is one of the colorful slot canyons in Utah, walls swirling with bands of cream, pink, peach, and lavender where the Navajo sandstone has been wind-carved into flowing curves. No commercial tours. You are genuinely alone in something that looks like the inside of a seashell at scale. Often combined with Spooky Canyon for a full day of unusual geology.
