I arrived in the dead of a windy winter Utah night near the trailhead for Peekaboo and Spooky slot canyons during early March 2025. The rising sun woke me up a few hours later, and I was on the trail within minutes. It was a raw morning, but things warmed up once I descended out of the wind. I then entered Peekaboo Slot Canyon, which was nice, but didn't offer the photogenic slotty experience I was looking for. I reached the exit of Peekaboo, turned right, and hiked over to the top of Spooky Slot Canyon. Things quickly became interesting inside Spooky as the walls grew narrow, water sculpted rock became abundant, and pinks, purples, reds, and orange colors abound. In other words, I got the slot canyon experience I craved and the pictures were fantastic. I reached the end of Spooky and found a 10-20 foot drop had to be down-climbed in order to return to civilization. I wasn't certain if smooth rock would yield a route all the way down, so I turned around and found a point to scramble up and out of the canyon. I then linked back up with the main route to the trailhead and called it a day.
