Itinerary description
A hike up to 2 slot canyons.
Take the Hole-In-The-Rock road at highway 12, about 4 miles South-East of Escalante.
Park just past the 3 th cattle guard (after about 8 miles). (The first cattle guard, is at the beginning of the road.)
Take the unmarked hiking trail left (North-East), a couple of yards from the fence.
This is a nice trail that leads along and shortcuts the wash.
As the wash forks, left leads to the Zebra slot. Just follow the wash and footprints, until you end up at the Zebra slot.
This slot has water most of the time, up to hip deep.
Turn back towards the fork and hike east.
The tunnel slot isn't in this wash, so watch for the exit to your left.
The small canyon leads to the tunnel entrance.
The tunnel is about 70 yards long and has water most of the time.
Nice for a summer day.

Hiking time: 3 Hour return. Hiking is mostly easy.

Hi, Efmer! Thank you for sharing your trails with such detailed descriptions and photos. Great job!
Concerning this Zebra Canyon - maybe you know if it would be filled with water in end of February/ beginning of March?
