This was a great hike but the sandy slog does become tedius after a while.  The photography is wonderful, but its dark so bringing a tripod is not a good idea.  Bo and I have never used one, but the photos came out okay with us just holding the camera.  This hike is best done in the spring and fall, it was a bit too hot to do the exit in the summer.  We opted to do it as a long one day hike so we were hiking out as the sun was setting, just getting out at dark, so it was okay for us.  Although advertised as the world’s longest slot canyon, it probably is not.  Kolob Canyon is longer, but it’s most likely the longest slot canyon that most people can do!
