Canyoneering Yankee Doodle Hollow
AdventureModerateSpringSummerYear-round
Descend into a stunning, beginner-friendly slot canyon in the Dixie National Forest featuring short rappels and narrow sculpted walls.
Itinerary tips
- 1Plan for a 3 to 4-hour round trip including the hike out, as the exit requires a steep scramble up a sandstone ridge.
- 2Bring a 60-meter rope and standard rappelling gear to navigate the primary 80-foot drop and smaller internal obstacles.
- 3Access the trailhead via Denmark Road and FR 031, ensuring your vehicle has high clearance for the gravel forest service roads.
- 4Pack at least two liters of water and high-energy snacks, as the desert heat remains intense even inside the canyon walls.
- 5Download offline maps or carry a GPS device because cellular reception is non-existent once you leave the main highway.
- 6Check local weather reports specifically for flash flood risks, as this slot canyon has no escape points once you begin the descent.
