How does one hike in the middle of summer in the desert when it's 104 degrees out without being miserable or simply, well, dying? We know how and we have a blast doing it@ "Super Fun!" is how our guests describe this hike and we whole heartedly agree. Cool off on a hot day in a practically undiscovered, private, pristine canyon. Trust us, this hike will be as phenomenal as anything you do in the parks, or better! This is not your average run of the mill hike - this trail follows a creek and you're in it, with your feet wet and cool, from the moment you step down into the canyon! Water fight to cool off? You got it! Or, you can pretend you are a character in your own Westworld as you travel through the places where the show was filmed! ***Please note that we do not sell our products directly on "Cool Destinations".

Q&A

Q: Is this hike suitable for kids? What's the age limit?

A: Great question! The hike is generally suitable for kids, but they should be at least 8 years old to handle the terrain. Make sure they can swim a bit if they want to splash around in the creek. Just keep an eye on them since there can be slippery rocks. It’s super fun for families!

Q: What's the parking situation like at the trailhead?

A: The parking at the trailhead is pretty straightforward. There’s a small lot that can fill up quickly on weekends, so I’d suggest arriving early. If it’s full, you may need to park a little further away and walk. Just be aware of the weather, as you don’t want to be hiking in the heat too long!

Q: What should we wear for the hike? Is there any special gear needed?

A: You’ll definitely want to wear lightweight, quick-drying clothes since you’ll be in and out of the creek. Water shoes or sandals with straps are a must! Also, don’t forget sunscreen and a hat. It can be super hot even with the creek, so stay cool.

Just did the Moab Slot Canyon hike and WOW!

I recently gifted the Moab Slot Canyon hike to my partner, and it was one of the best decisions ever! We hiked about 3 miles through this beautiful canyon with a flowing creek. Since it was super hot outside, the cold water felt amazing! We even had a mini water fight! Highly recommend this for anyone looking to escape the summer heat. Plus, being in such a beautiful, less-crowded spot felt magical. Just a heads up, check the weather before going!

Looking for gift ideas? This hike is a winner!

I just booked the Moab Slot Canyon hike for my dad’s birthday and I’m so excited! He loves hiking and I think he’ll have a blast cooling off in the creek. I’m a little worried about the heat, but I think the creek will help. Has anyone done this in really hot weather? Any tips?
