Slot Canyon

This shot was taken above the slot canyon along Willis Creek. Access to the canyon is about 2 miles from Bull Valley Gorge. There is a parking area north of where the shallow creek passes over Skutumpah Road between Johnson Canyon and Cannonville.The creek starts out level with the road but soon flows deeper into the canyon and enters a moderately deep gorge. A short walk into the canyon reveals several narrow sections where the golden sandstone walls of the canyon rise above you dramatically. Willis Creek is very easy to explore and is recommended as a daytime destination for families with children. Be prepared to get a bit muddy.
