ATV Riding: Peekaboo Slot Canyon & Native American Site

Ride a UTV into an untouched slot canyon and walk among ancient Native American ruins

A private UTV adventure near Zion takes you offroad to Peekaboo Slot Canyon, where you ride into a canyon kept untouched and see the remains of an ancient Native American site inside. A live guide leads the two-hour trip from the staging area through the offroad terrain to the canyon and back. Groups stay small, usually just your party, or combined only if you're traveling with one to three other people.

The experience

You start at the staging area for Peekaboo Slot Canyon and ride in a UTV with your guide for a two-hour offroad experience. The guide handles the route and the driving while you sit as a passenger, moving through the terrain to reach the canyon entrance. Once inside Peekaboo Slot Canyon, you get out and walk to see the remains of the ancient Native American site that sits within the canyon walls. The canyon itself has been kept untouched, so the landscape and the historical traces are preserved as they stand.

This is one of the few private tours in Southern Utah, which means the operator doesn't combine groups unless you're traveling with just one to three other people. That arrangement keeps the experience relaxed and personal. You're not managing a large group or competing for the guide's attention. The guide shares knowledge about the Native American history and the canyon as you move through, and you'll have bottled water provided throughout the ride.
