Slaughter Canyon Cave Trail

Looking down on the Slaughter Canyon Cave trail

NPS

Due to flash flooding, Slaughter Canyon Trail has been closed until further notice.

Gaining 500 feet (152 m) in elevation over a rugged .5 mile (1 km) path, the views of Slaughter Canyon are spectacular. Considered a difficult trail, hikers generally take about 45 minutes to go from the parking area to the cave entrance.

The cave itself can only be seen on a ranger-guided tour.
