Zebra Slot Canyon. Zebra Canyon is located on Hole in the Rock Road located in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, the same area as Spooky and Peekaboo Slot Canyons. Once driving 7.8 miles down Hole in the Rock Road (dirt track) you will reach a carpark. From this carpark you can find the trail which heads east, the. Zebra Slot: SummitPost.org: Climbing, hiking, mountaineering. In drier conditions, it might take only 30 minutes to head up the slot until you reach high, sheer walls that will require rope to climb and which take you to a couple of potholes that mark the upper end of the canyon, anyway. Hiking trip report, map, and photos for Zebra and Tunnel Slot Canyons, located in Grand Staircase - Escalante National Monument, Utah. This is a 6.7 mile loop hike with 500 cumulative feet of elevation gain that takes about 3-5 hours to complete. Photos and words by Dylan H. Just outside of Escalante, only a short 5-mile drive down the Hole-in-the-Rock Road, tucked in the expansive sedimentary rock of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument is one of the most stunning slot canyons around, Zebra Canyon. Zebra Canyon Zebra Canyon is a photographer’s dream. Shape shifting walls undulate in synchronous waves so narrowly spaced that sunlight refracts as if inside a prism, bouncing between stripes of pink and magenta, accented by an interplay of water, sand, and sky. This is a slot canyon, meaning the rock walls constrict to less than arm’s length apart. While it takes a skilled photographer to.
The trailhead for Zebra Slot Canyon is located 7.8 miles down Hole-In-The-Rock road from Highway 12 in Escalante Utah. The parking lot for the trailhead is located on the west side of the road just south of the 3rd cattle guard. Hole-In-The-Rock road is passable in a passenger car for the first 40 miles or so but they say it does get quite rough near the end of the road.
The hike to Zebra Slot Canyon is around 2.5 miles one way on a well-trod footpath until you reach the mouth of the canyon itself. You can follow Harris Wash for the last part but it was filled with deep sand and is much more tiring to hike in than the trail. Once inside the canyon the fun really starts. If you are claustrophobic this hike may not be for you as this is a very narrow canyon. The most photogenic section of the canyon is the last 30 yards, which requires some scrambling to get there. The most difficult section to negotiate is about 50 yards from the end of the canyon and is so narrow you cannot actually touch the bottom of the canyon. Instead you need to chimney or wedge yourself between the walls staying above the floor all while carrying your camera and tripod. Your camera and tripod will need to either be in front or behind you because both you and your gear will not fit through this section together.
The best time to shoot Zebra Slot Canyon is in the morning before the light hits the back wall of the canyon. If you arrive too early in the morning th light will be pretty flat since there will not be much light reflecting into the canyon. The later in the morning the more the light fills and defines the canyon.
Even if you arrive in late afternoon you will definitely need a tripod. Shutter speeds in this canyon are quite long especially since you will be using small apertures to get as much DOF as possible. The canyon is so narrow that tripod placement becomes an issue, there isn’t enough space to get all of your legs firmly on the ground so you will more than likely have at least one leg on the wall itself.5.0 6.6 miles 442 ft gain - Loop Trail

6.6 miles round trip, you can see the most amazing slot canyon just outside of Escalante!
This place is just outside of Escalante, Utah, about 6 miles drive down the Hole in the Rock Road / BLM 200. You will see a small parking lot on the right side, the trailhead is not marked, but it’s right cross the road from parking lot, once you see the trail you can just easily follow it for 1.9 miles until you hit a big dried up creek. Go left to Zebra slot canyon, go right to Tunnel slot canyon.
Tunnel Slot Canyon: When you reach the Creek, turn right, about 0.8 mile the canyon will be on your left side, you’d better pull out the GPS on the phone or it’s very easy to miss it, it was flooded when I was there, so I didn’t go in the tunnel.
Zebra Slot Canyon: When you reach the Creek, turn left, hike along the creek for 0.5 miles and you’ll see the canyon. It was waist deep water when I was there, but I still waded in and it was freezing. The canyon is super narrow; I’m 5’7’, 135lbs, and I had a hard time moving forward in some spots. Be prepared for some scratches.
If it’s raining or there are flood warnings please do not enter the slot canyons. Hiking Easy Parking Scenic
