Photograph the Jenny’s Canyon Slot

FamilyEasyYear-round

A very short, accessible walk into a narrow, sculpted slot canyon that provides a perfect introduction to desert geology for kids.

Itinerary tips

  • 1Park in the designated lot along Snow Canyon Drive, located just past the Sand Dunes parking area.
  • 2Allocate approximately 30 to 45 minutes to complete the easy 0.5-mile round-trip walk and photography session.
  • 3Carry a wide-angle lens to capture the towering vertical walls within the tight, sculpted canyon sections.
  • 4Ensure you have a valid Snow Canyon State Park pass or be prepared to pay the daily vehicle entrance fee at the gate.
  • 5Bring a small brush or air blower to clean red sand off your camera equipment after exiting the slot.
  • 6Check the official park website for seasonal closures, as the trail typically shuts down from March 15 to June 1 each year for nesting raptors.
