With the sections of rock scrambling, this one was just a little more challenging and fun for me. Both are tons of fun, but I think I liked Peek-A-Boo a little more.

Plus, they are both very short (only about a quarter mile long) so it doesn’t add much time to retrace your steps. Hiking each slot canyon out and back is a little more fun, because you get to do them twice. You can combine Peek-A-Boo and Spooky Gulches into one big loop or you can hike each slot canyon individually. You have two options to hike these two slot canyons.
