Jun 29, 2017 — This is a short, pretty slitstone slot canyon uncreatively called "The Slot" located within Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, just off the side of the road. Any car can make it to the trailhead. A short walk through the desert leads down into the canyon. Along the way, there's an interesting fallen chunk of rock that looms above as you hike underneath. After the short narrows, the canyon opens up. We wandered past the main narrows just to check out another section to the north, but turned around shortly after, retracing our steps.

Hire/refer me as a web developer or send me a few bucks if you find my site useful. I'm not sponsored, so all fees are out-of-pocket and my time preparing trip reports is unpaid. I really appreciate it!

From the parking area, head along the well-traveled trail just south of the slot.

Enter in a less steep section just above the slot.

Walking through a wash for a bit before finding some more shorter narrows sections.

The slot opens up to the desert again. We turned back here.
