Southern Utah is synonymous with slot canyons! There are multitudes of individual point-to-point and canyon loops deserving of their own leaderboard! Canyoning/Canyoneering is its own special magic.
Among these multitudes, within Crack Canyon Wilderness Study Area near Goblin Valley State Park, both Crack and Chute Canyons are listed as “Must Do” easy canyons on various Utah Tourism blogs/online guides but it is in the “WOW Guides: Utah Canyon Country” that making a loop of the two is recommended for the “experienced canyon hiker.”
Lava Beds National Monument is renown among cavers, with miles upon miles of explorable lava tubes. All this to say...You’re going to need a headlamp and a helmet because you’re going to be underground for about 7,090’, or in other words 1.34 miles.
Obviously, we recommend rehearsing the caves sections before the real effort, you can get lost. Use a helmet please! You can split your head open.
This is a 16 mile, South to North traverse of Lava Beds National Monument, incorporating the best point-to-point, “moderately hard” caves in the monument.
