That elusive towering white hoodoo of the Grand Staircase-Esclante National Monument

Those white hoodoos in the Grand Staircase Escalante

We went hunting for that elusive white hooodoo that is often used to promote the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument. We found it just six miles from the town of Big Water, Utah. The twelve mile round trip hike is an enjoyable one through a riverbed. However, the water is intermittent, so dont count on it year round.

The waterfall at the end of Spring Hollow. Don't ask about Adventure Jeep. It's a Joe and Bo thing.

Spring Hollow slot canyon on the east side of Zion Park

Like Red Hollow, Spring Hollow is a hidden treasure, located on the east side of Zion National Park. This one is not a narrow slot, but it has its own beauty. When the water is running there is a wonderful waterfall at the end as well as a double fall up high that is seen during the hike.

Tanya stemming in Red Hollow. Red Hollow is a fun little slot canyon on the east side of Zion National Park.

Red Hollow in East Zion

"This is the most incredible slot canyon I have ever seen. What a great, I mean really great, easy to access, unbelievably awesome slot canyon. I'm ready to get back in there. The water coming thru made it even more awesome than I can imagine. Gave it the feel of hiking Kolob Creek in Zion Park, without having to spend the entire day working at it."
- Bo Beck

This is a great little slot adventure, that is idea when the water is running. Since the water is from snow melt early spring is the best time of year to go. If steeming your way through a narrow slot is fun, then this canyon will give it in spades with little effort to get to the canyon itself. There are no access issues which makes it all the better and there are no permits needed since this is outside of the parks.
