The experience

The hike covers roughly 2.5 miles through Lower Wind Pebble Canyon, moving between three distinct slot canyons with narrow passageways, towering sandstone walls and rock formations shaped by light and shadow. Your guide shares details about the geology and history as you move through each canyon, so the walk becomes a chance to understand what you're seeing rather than just pass through it.

The meeting point is the start. From there, a 15–20 minute drive takes you to the trailhead. Once you arrive, the remaining time is yours to hike through each canyon at the pace the group sets. The tour also includes a stop at a working Navajo ranch, where you can observe old sweat lodges and learn about the practices and customs that shape Navajo life in the area. Backpacks are allowed, so you can carry water and gear without checking anything.
