The only true and narrow slot canyon in the Valley of Fire. Located on the White Domes Trail.I included it as a short detour on the Seven Wonders Loop, as the short round trip is definitely worth it. The slot canyon is a short but impressive narrow passage and also a photographic display of colors.Note: May 15 to October 1, 2025, and likely every year thereafter.
Seasonal closure due to heat:
Fire Wave, Seven Wonders Loop, Pastel Canyon Prospect, Arrowhead, Pinnacles, White Domes, Charlie Springs, and Natural Arches Trails.

At high temperatures, please take enough water with you. The trail is not long, but it dries out powerful. In the gorge we even saw little frogs. Open your eyes, you can discover something.

The tightness in the slot is already impressive. However, this is also popular as a photo point and it creates small traffic jams. In front of the slot you can still see remnants of a Western Film backdrop.
