Peekaboo Gulch
TripAdvisor Traveller Rating: 4 of 5 stars
TripAdvisor Popularity Index: #2 of 8 attractions in Escalante

The gulch is most famous because of the last 100 meters, before the junction with Dry Fork of Coyote Gulch - here the ravine cuts deeper into the sandstone, with a series of interlinked potholes, extravagant swirls and fins of rock, and several arches; these different openings and the many corners and crevices account for the curious name of this canyon.

Attraction type: Geological formation
