On top of that, we got started later in the day and the sun was starting to set as we were walking into Spooky – not the best idea to be hiking in an extremely narrow slot canyon with hardly any light coming through as it is getting dark. We also were not prepared and didn’t have enough water with us. When Matt and I last went to these slots three years ago, we got lost coming out of Peek-A-Boo while trying to find Spooky and scrambled around for about an hour until we found the opposite entrance to Spooky than we were looking for. While these hikes are incredible and fun, it is very easy to get lost and run out of water. 9 miles down to the second lot where the trailhead starts.įirst, let me start off with a warning. If the road to the second parking lot is too rough for your car, park in the first one and hike. This will get you closer to the trailhead. If your car is capable, drive to the left towards the further parking lot. In Escalante, Drive 26 miles down Hole in the Rock Road and you will see a turn-off on your left with a sign labeled “Dry Fork.” With how bad Hole in the Rock Road is, it will seem like much longer than 26 miles 😉 You will see two parking lots after the turn-off.
