2.40c2c. Brian Dwight Nancy Pico Trinity. Crazy crowds. A hand line might have been nice? Peekaboo was a bit squeezey. Take pads, gloves, helmet for pie |

Super fun little canyons. Lots of pools in peekaboo added interest (April ‘23) |

Water in a pocket shortly after the moki steps. Possible to avoid if experienced but most families will have someone getting wet. |

Completely dry. Did peekaboo and spooky loop. Took dry fork up and to the big ledge and circled back to main trail. Nice weather didn't freeze at night. |

Descended from the mouth of spooky off of early weed bench then climbed out a slot at the top of peak a boo back to early weed bench. 6.5 hrs. Might be better to figure 7 and descend peekaboo then come out spooky while going with the flow through the popular section. |

BF and I did this loop over Memorial day weekend 2017. This was our "intro" canyoneering experience after lots of hiking, so some of our troubles may be because we're beginners, but thought I'd share some additional info, since I think we were somewhat unprepared for the day. 1 - Vehicle access: We rented a Toyota corolla and made it down hole in the rock slowly, but just fine. We were able to get to the first parking lot (there were some RVs and other sedans there) but had to walk to the actual trail head. I tried to wave down some 4x4 drivers for a lift, but we didn't have anyone stop :(. 2 - Finding Dry Fork: We struggled a bit as first timers just finding the way, I didn't think the path was well worn at all until we hit the deep sand into the canyon. There were some misleading cairns and some spots where we couldn't find them, and we only ran across one other hiker on the way down...who was also totally lost. As a result, it took us a while to actually make our way down. We also encountered a diamondback rattler on our way in! Eek! 3 - The Canyons I am short (5'3") and a weak climber, so I was unable to pass the upclimb at the start of peekaboo and we did the loop backward. We joined forces with the other hiker because there were several places where we ended up needing to work together to continue. I have heard that it is easier overall to go up PAB and down spooky. The slots were a little more technical/challenging than I expected in this direction, but made for a really fun, physical day. Because we got a little lost on the way down, and it was late spring, climbing up that deep sand and the unshaded, hike back to the parking lot were probably the toughest part -- it was early afternoon and HOT. I would still recommend it as a good "introductory" adventure...definitely whetted our appetite for more, but would caveat that it will be a challenge for newbies. |

Amazing slot canyon loop if you do PAB and Spooky. Make sure you hang a left out of spooky to get you back to the trail that heads back up tothe parking lot. Parking got a pretty crowded this Memorial day weekend. Probably better to visit on a non-holiday weekend. |
