About the Attraction

A visit to Little Wild Horse Canyon offers an adventurous and scenic journey through one of Utah's classic slot canyons. Here’s what to expect:

  • Stunning Narrows: The canyon features long stretches of narrow passages where the rock walls are so close you have to turn sideways to pass through, showcasing beautifully sculpted sandstone formations.
  • Family-Friendly Adventure: This popular hiking spot is suitable for families and youth groups, offering both a simple out-and-back hike and a more adventurous 8-mile loop with Bell Canyon.
  • Seasonal Beauty: Ideal for spring and fall visits, the canyon provides a shady and cool hiking experience even during hot summer days, though caution is advised during the August monsoon season due to flash flood risks.

It's a must-see for those seeking to explore the natural beauty and unique geology of the San Rafael Swell.
