Utah’s slot canyons are stunning…sheer red-rock cliffs towering above you, while just a slice of blue sky creates a heavenly ceiling. Hiking through a slot canyon is like being in another world, where you’re cut off from civilization and completely immersed in nature. While all of Utah’s slots are amazing, there’s a mini slot canyon near Boulder that offers something truly special and unique. It’s called “Singing Canyon.”
The mini slot canyon is located in the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, just a few miles from Boulder.
