The slot canyon must be the closest to an access road of any other in the Escalante region and begins after just a couple of minutes walk down the dry wash. It deepens in several steps, as level, sandy passages are separated by moderate drops of up to 8 feet over chokestones, all of which are relatively easily downclimbed. Quite soon - after a few hundred meters - the smooth sandstone walls fall away and the gulch opens out into a wide clear area then restarts in similar fashion a short distance further. As before, boulders are wedged in the canyon at intervals but now the passageways are narrower, sometimes angled away from vertical, and there are several tight squeezes between the easier sections so overall the going is quite strenuous.
