Red Hollow

This is a short very kid friendly trail that leads to a  slot canyon. There’s very little climb, so little walkers can do it. At certain times of year there might be some water in it. We hiked it in winter and there was a little bit of snow on the ground leading up to the slot, but it was completely dry once we were in the slot canyon. Approach is a rough jeep road and then you cross into a wash, which eventually leads to a short, narrow slot canyon. There are two points in the slot canyon where you will need to lift little ones over boulders. Eventually you come to a rope to travel higher, but for kids, this is the end point. Located near a cute little town called Orderville, this is a great hike to couple with other short hikes on Highway 9 if you are traveling through Zion. You can do a hike like Canyon Overlook and this one in the same day. Dogs are welcome, but be leash aware. Check driving directions, as the approach is a little tricky with dirt roads splintering off. Best traveled in a 4×4 in winter, but in summer it’s fairly passable with a car, as long as it’s not a wet day.
