Hiking
The Hall of Horrors consists of two slot canyons that you can hike while in the area. While the one to the left is very narrow, it doesn't need any rock scrambling to get into it. The one to the right is much wider and has a sandy bottom. Please make sure that you are able to climb back out of the canyon before scrambling down.

...not listed on the official JTNP map, you'll find wonderful spots for photos, scrambling, and, if you have a permit, even climbing! A wonderful area where you can try anything that doesn't overwhelm you...Never underestimate the dry heat!

A paradise for slim explorers. You won't be able to get through it with a backpack on your back :)
