Slot Gorge

 
Slot Gorge Rating: 9,1/10 3345 votes

A slot canyon is a very narrow gorge with steep, high walls often made from soft rock such as basalt or sandstone. Many boast waterfalls at their tail ends. Deeper than they are wide, these canyons. Unlike many of the Escalante-area slot canyons, Peek-a-Boo and Spooky Gulch require zero technical gear or know-how—although it requires some navigational and rock-scrambling skill. Peek-A-Boo is a slot and corkscrew, and Spooky Gulch is a narrow slot canyon.

  • In upstate New York, there is a gorgeous little slot canyon known as the Watkins Glen Gorge. Long before this spot became a state park it was a tourist destination for many affluent New Englanders. Today it is available to everyone. Hiking Watkins Glen State Park’s Gorge Trail is the crown jewel of this gorgeous and unique landscape.

You'll start hiking west and should find yourself on the right hand side of wet weather ravine. Look closely as you follow this ravine, you'll see pink markers hanging from tree branches as you descend deeper toward Bear Creek Canyon.

You'll come across 2 of the 5 waterfalls pictured at Coordinates 35.68930, -93.18470. The waterfalls are named Sidewinder and Swamp Falls. If the water level is low you can climb down below Swamp Falls for some fantastic pics.

Journey upstream a short distance and you'll approach Baby Bear Falls. Take in the sight and shoot some pics before turning around and heading back downstream.

You'll want to go past Sidewinder and Swamp Falls continuing downstream to V Slot Falls. I recommend a rope if you want to climb into the slot cut into the rock over centuries of erosion. Truly a magnificent sight. On this day the creek was flowing descent, but not enough water to form a 'V' around the boulder pictured.

A little further downstream and you'll reach the last waterfall. This one is Slot Pool Falls. I ate lunch here. It'd be the perfect place for a summer swim if you were up to bushwhacking through thorns, poison ivy and all the undergrowth associated with warm weather in the Ozarks.
