No rope needed for standard route. COORDINATES 37.0280, -111.5790 → Open in Maps Blue Pool Wash is a short but adventurous slot canyon route best suited to hikers comfortable with route-finding on unmarked terrain. Sculpted sandstone walls narrow to shoulder-width in places, and the route involves mild downclimbing. The 'blue pool' — a reflective catch basin — appears in wet seasons and creates stunning photographic opportunities. Parking is south of the US-89 bridge between mileposts 3 and 4. 8.
