Overview

If you are looking for something that you can talk about for the rest of your life, then check out South Fork Palm Wash Slot Canyon. This super unique and lightly traveled adventure is perfect for an active family or overland group that is looking for something different than the norm. At the end of this backcountry trail is a long slot canyon that is absolutely amazing and provides several hours of entertainment. Right out of the door of your vehicle, you walk through a large arch and into a slot canyon that quickly narrows to only a foot wide. This is an exploration worth making!
