Slot Canyons in Moab

[Samersen]

Hey so we are taking the my wife's family down to Moab, they haven't been for years and we are doing a day of mt. biking a day or hiking, and a day of Jeeping I feel like I have done most of the popular hikes through arches, but does anyone know of any secret gems hiding for hiking?

Have you done the joint trail in needles district? It's a great easy hike, no rappelling necessary, but it does take a 4x4 to get back in there.

If you're looking for rappelling, medieval chamber is pretty awesome. (not a slot canyon though)

If you're looking for a quick stop and look, Tusher tunnel is worth stopping by.

Have you done the Hidden Valley hike that starts in south Moab and can take you all the way to the Moab Rim trail head parking lot? Really scenic hike with petroglyph panels and great views if you have not done it. Park a vehicle at both ends.

Check out climbutah.com for a list of slot canyons and difficulty ratings in and around Moab. There is a short slot with rap just inside Pritchett canyon.
