End of the Trail

Kyle Canyon Slots Trails

There is no obvious end to the official trail, as the path continues along the ravine into medium-width narrows, up a few steeper sections and past a layered, curving cliff face on the south side. The gorge narrows more soon after; now there are only stones on the floor, no vegetation, and patches of snow are likely to remain into late spring. A series of enclosed, photogenic, vertical-walled passageways lead to a chokestone followed by a major junction, where the right (north) fork becomes quickly shallow, entering open, bushy terrain, while the left fork - the tightest part of the drainage - stays confined a little way further, round a few bends, until this too looses height and changes to an open wash. Following this fork entails climbing over several large chokestones. The rocks in the slots are predominately light grey in color, crossed by vertical bands of other shades, so are quite pretty, especially in spring when contrasted with the twisting path of lingering snow along the streamway.
