πŸ’‘ Tips from Dan

Your Road Warrior Guide

  • β€’The trail can get hot during summer months. Pack plenty of water and apply sunscreen generously.
  • β€’Watch the weather report! The slot canyons can experience flash floods during heavy rain.
  • β€’This place is a photographer's dream! Don't forget to bring your camera.
  • β€’To avoid crowds and enjoy the scenery at its best, consider starting your hike early in the morning.

What Dan Packs

Based on what you'll be doing, Dan recommends:

Insulated Water Bottle

Essential

Keeps water cold for hours. Hydration is critical in desert heat.

Polarized Sunglasses

Essential

UV reflection off rock and water is intense. Protect your eyes.
