Activity: 

Hike Peekaboo and Spooky Cyn - 6.3 mile loop crawling through sandstone passages. Go up Peekaboo and down Spooky. Smallest about 18 inches in Spooky Cyn. There is NO water on this trip and temps can get high March-Nov with NO shade. Don't attempt with rain - flashflood danger. This route requires a 15 foot scramble up a slickrock wall with marginal foot and handholds into Peekaboo Canyon followed more scrambling. Spooky Canyon requires a 10 foot downclimb scramble with little to no footholds on overhanging boulders. Spooky Canyon is also very narrow and requires most adults to slide sideways while dragging their backpacks behind them for most of the canyon. All Trails Trip Report
