Winding Your Way Sideways Through Spooky Canyon in Escalante, Utah

At only 12 inches wide in its narrowest part, Spooky Canyon, located in the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, will surely challenge even those that don’t normally mind tight spaces. Not a great hike for those of extra large proportions or those with claustrophobic tendenciesthe narrowest part of the canyon necessitates a sideways shuffle or you literally may get wedged in the sandstone. Wind, twist, climb, and crawl through the contours and formations carved by flash floods racing through the canyon. Look up to see only a slit of sky from the depths of the canyon and get spooked by eyeing the debris left from the flash floods that carved this amazing work of art.
