  • Hey you guys! This week's Go Travel On The Cheap episode is a sampling of our slot canyon fun at a slot canyon at Red Hollow Trail near Zion and Bryce. This is a must-do of slot canyon hikes and desert hiking. There are so many slot canyons in Utah and slot canyons near Escalante Utah. It's awesome to be able to go hiking in a red rock canyon and Red Hollow Trail is definitely less crowded than some of Zion National Park slot canyons...perhaps it is even one of Utah's secret slot canyons hikes! If you have any questions or would like to share your thoughts, please leave us a comment below! Share our video with a friend, and like always, thank you for living life! 😊

    Never heard of Slot Canyon before. Thanks for taking us there. It looks like a great hike (if you're not claustrophobic 😉😉😉). We are due to go back to that part of the country. We'll add it to our list. And we'll bring proper hiking boots 🤣🤣🤣.

    Is this a national park? I notice you flew the drone there and I always wonder what drone regs are like in America? The canyon is super impressive! Damn, it does get narrow though. Yeah I thought of 127 hours too 🙈 I can't believe that's the trail, It's crazy. That rope part is so steep. I can see why you'd want a helmet.

    • @GoTravelOnTheCheap

    This is definitely a pretty state - Utah is simply amazing. We only have been to the Arches and Canyonlands, and opted to skip Zion and Bryce (for next time).
    The red hollow trail reminds me of Petra - red glowing and dusty pathways, which is amazing. And yes, of course the 127 hours with James Franco, yikes.
