Hole-In-The-Rock Road- this is the place. We hiked from the Dry Forks trailhead to Spooky, Peek-A-Boo and Brimstone slot canyons. Despite their proximity they each are remarkably different. Spooky is characterized by pea-sized concretions in the sandstone that give it a textured look and by having narrow stretches that I only fit through sideways. We then cross-countried over to Brimstone Canyon where a well-placed sand dune allowed us to jump into the canyon with otherwise steep, vertical walls. Brimstone was great- dark, foreboding, wet. We waded to where swimming was necessary and enjoyed the play of light and sculpted rock before retreating to the sun. Peek-A-Boo was not as nice as I remembered it, partly because it was coated in mud and dirt from the latest flood. Everywhere we've gone there's been evidence for a recent flash flood.
