Belly of The Dragon
A massive man-made drainage tunnel that looks like a literal dragon’s ribcage. Only 15 minutes away, it is a quick, easy, and shaded walk for all ages, with a continuous trail at the end of it.
Peek-A-Boo Slot Canyon
A local favorite 20 minutes away that rivals Zion’s slots without the massive crowds. This stunning canyon features deep orange sandstone walls and ancient Moqui steps. Getting here requires a 4×4 high-clearance vehicle for the deep sand, or you can book a local UTV tour for the full experience.
