Zebra Slot Canyon: Southern Utah's Photogenic Hike
5.0

Escalante

This is undoubtedly one of the most distinctive slot canyons in Southern Utah. The stunning striped patterns on the canyon walls make an irresistibly enticing subject for photographers.

Although the round-trip hike is just 5 miles, be certain to pack water. Despite the canyon being relatively short, it is definitely worth the trek.

Highlights
  • Zebra Slot Canyon - Named after the vivid stripes that line its walls, Zebra Slot Canyon in Grand Staircase Escalante is perhaps the most unique canyon in Southern Utah. To reach the stunning canyon requires an 8-mile drive down a dirt road, a 5-mile round trip hike, 45 minutes drive to and from, and a challenging climb through very narrow canyon walls. Even though the Zebra Slot Canyon itself is only about a quarter-mile long, the long journey to reach it is completely worth the effort.

Great tour with Regan - Regan told me that there was deep (chest high) water in Zebra canyon so he offered Tunnel Canyon as an alternative (thigh high water) and I chose that. We had a great hike and tour through the canyon narrows, and great conversation. Many thanks to this tour company for offering me a solo tour, it is very much appreciated.

Incredible end at Zebra Canyon - The Zebra Canyon was so much fun! A much easier canyon to navigate than Spooky or Peek-a-boo and unique in the incredible end! The desert hike there was beautiful. Regan was an excellent guide and took so many photos and videos for us. We can't wait to go back!

Zebra slot canyon tour - Our 3-person group had a fantastic time exploring Zebra canyon with Regan. He is confident, accommodating, and knowledgeable which ultimately lead us to taking a cold plunge! Yes, there was water in the canyon and it was chilly but the view at the end was absolutely worth it! Regan shared with us facts about local flora and fauna, as well as the region’s history. Will be definitely looking for his services in the future when we visit UT again!

Coming back for more! - After a fabulous tour going through Dry Fork, Spooky and Peek-a-boo the previous day we booked another tour with ROAM with Regan as our guide again to Zebra Canyon. The hike through the desert was beautiful. Regan did a great job telling about the land and plants. Leaving our packs at the mouth of the slot canyon, Regan took our phone and took many photos and videos or us as we waded into the waters of the canyon. There were some tight squeezes and a little maneuvering that Regan got us through. We would have never explored this canyon without a guide. It was great knowing that someone knew what was up ahead! Great for even beginner hikers at any age!

Great hike - While not able to go into Zebra because of water in the canyon, the hike was beautiful. I was given the choice to take a chance and see if the canyon was hike able or cancel and I made the decision to go which was the right one. Neil was a great tour guide and I would use ROAM again.

Best photos by far! - Nothing beats exploring a new slot canyon..especially when it’s gorgeous like this one. Neal made sure we knew what we were getting into beforehand and helped us squeeze through and wade through to the best view of the canyon.

Beautiful area! - We had a great time on this hike! It was a 2-3 mile hike through the desert to the start of the canyon. On that particular day, the water was really deep in the canyon. Our guide, Neal, was willing to take us through but we opted out of that. Per our request, he took us to a different canyon in the same area and also gave a different hike through the desert. We had the best time and I am so glad we had our guide. Neal made this trip so fun for us and gave us just the adventure we were looking for. I recommend going with a guide: there are very few marked trails out in this area and it really helps having someone from the area to help you explore it. I highly recommend this tour company.
