Huntress Slot Canyon: Guided hiking and 4 rappels near Kanab★★★★★★★★★★ 5.00 (163)5hThe Huntress Slot Canyon Adventure is a guided hiking and rappelling activity near Kanab where you hike into a slot canyon, make four rappels of increasing size through sandstone walls, and hike back out—all in about five hours with no experience required. Canyoneering equipment is provided. The first rappel is small, designed to let newcomers learn the technique before the canyon drops into larger intermediate rappels. Guides are professionally trained and speak English, Spanish, or Portuguese.Is it for me?This activity requires at least a moderate level of physical fitness and is not suitable for travelers with spinal injuries, pregnancy, or poor cardiovascular health—the repeated rappels and five-hour day demand stamina and a healthy back. If you're comfortable with physical exertion and want to learn rappelling in a real canyon rather than on a practice wall, the progression from small to intermediate drops makes it accessible for first-timers.Free cancellationfromUS$ 179View ›
