1. Is this a good tour for kids?
Kids love this trip. Peekaboo Canyon is beautiful and FUN to play in. Even in the summer months, it remains relatively cool inside the canyon, compared to the sun exposed desert just outside. The tall canyon walls also contain kids so it’s virtually impossible for them to wander off. The dinosaur tracks captivate the imaginations of kids and grown ups. And be prepared for a brief science lesson or two. If time allows, we may stop by the Coral Pink Sand Dunes for a quick visit, where kids can run up and down the dunes. Be ready for them to come home sandy, happy and tired.
2. Is the Peekaboo Slot Canyon and Dinosaur Tracks tour easy?
The hikes at Peekaboo Slot Canyon and the dinosaur tracks site are both easy. It is just a short walk to the dinosaur tracks, where we will be walking up sandstone that is somewhat steep, but we will be moving slowly while we are observing the tracks. For the slot canyon, we drive you right to the entrance. From there, it is a slow, 1-mile round trip meander through a gorgeous, red rock slot canyon. The ground is fairly flat and level, but there is some sand to walk through and loose rocks to negotiate. There are two small obstacles most people can cross without difficulty: One boulder about 3 feet high, and one large log that must be stepped over or ducked under.
3. How does Peekaboo Slot Canyon compare to Antelope Canyon?
Both Peekaboo and Antelope are carved from the same Navajo Sandstone formation. Peekaboo is a bit longer than Lower Antelope Canyon. The stone is more red, but it is not carved as intricately as Antelope. Peekaboo is much less crowded, so if offers a true nature experience of quiet and solitude. Tripods are welcome. Read a more detailed comparison of Antelope and Peekaboo in our blog.
4. Is Peekaboo Canyon good for photography? May I bring my tripod?
Photographers relish the challenge of the ever changing light in Peekaboo and even amatures with iPhones come away with stunning images. We encourage photography on our trips and our tour allows about 2 hours in the slot canyon if needed. Tripods, GoPros and gimbals are welcome. Photographers are encouraged to linger behind the group to set up their perfect shots. It’s a slot canyon, so you really can’t get lost.
5. What’s the best time of day to shoot images in Peekaboo?
Light varies widely depending on the season. In the winter, mid day is good. Look for the 10 a.m., 1 p.m. or 2 p.m. tour. In spring and fall, 9 or 10 a.m. or 3 or 4 p.m. are ideal. In the summer when the sun is higher in the sky, early morning is the ticket. Look for 8 or 9 a.m. or 4 p.m. The idea is to capture reflective light that bounces off the canyon walls and creates beautiful orange, red and yellows. In mid day in the summer when the sun is high, there is a big contrast between light and shadow, making photography more challenging. Light beams come and go in an instant in late spring to early fall. We don’t see the in the winter. Photographers might also consider the Sunset Safari tour that includes an afternoon trip to the slot canyon, followed by a drive to a viewpoint to photograph the sunset.
6. Are there bathrooms on this tour?
We will drive by a pit toilet on the way to the dinosaur track site. Let your guide know if you need to stop. At any time, you may duck behind a tree or bush for privacy. Bury all solid waste. Guides carry toilet paper, hand wipes and plastic bags in each truck. Do not leave any trash on the ground. Paper must be bagged up and can be discreetly discarded into the trash bag at the truck.
7. Are drones allowed on this tour?
Yes, drones are allowed on this tour, but Peekaboo is not necessarily a good place to fly a drone. It is narrow and there may be other people in close proximity. There is space at the dinosaur track site to launch a drone. When operating a drone on tours, please be mindful of other guests on the tour and other hikers who may be in the area. Others seek remote locations for the solitude. Please do not fly drones close to other people and limit the amount of time the drone is in the air. Always follow instructions from your guide.

Single Travelers & Private Tours

Private Tours are available to be booked online.
This tour combines our popular Peekaboo Slot Canyon Tour with the Dinosaur Tracksite for a medium tour length.
Fine layers of mud and silt trapped between layers of sand froze Dinosaur Game Trails in time for 180 million years. Dinosaur Tracks as small as a chicken and as large as an elephant connect you with a strange and ancient “Utah”. The Dinosaur Tracks, numbering in the 100’s combined with dazzling slickrock sandstone formations make this place a must see. Between the Slot Canyon and the Tracksite we will play in the gorgeous Coral Pink Sand Dunes. Kids love this tour!
