COORDINATES 37.5574, -111.5010 → Open in Maps Peek-a-Boo and Spooky Gulch together form the signature slot canyon adventure of the Escalante backcountry. Peek-a-Boo is a colorfully banded canyon requiring upclimbing through carved hand-and-foot holes. Spooky Gulch is narrower than shoulder-width in multiple sections, requiring hikers to turn sideways and chimney through. The loop connecting both canyons crosses open desert and soft sand — high-clearance access on Hole-in-the-Rock Road is required year-round. 16.
