After Fred finished work today, we set out to explore Peek-a-Boo slot canyon, about six miles north of Kanab. Directions to the trailhead mentioned a sandy road but did not warn that it became barely more than tire tracks over dunes within the first mile.
We got stuck when we slowed down to read a directional marker. Gunning it didn't work. Four-wheel drive didn't work. Brush under the tires didn't work. Shoveling was futile. Letting air out of the tires plus all of the above finally won our release and, slipping and sliding in the sand, we sped back to the paved road. Peek-a-Boo will have to wait until we find a less harrowing route.
