The ladder feels really stable so it’s not difficult unless you suffer from vertigo. Suddenly things get a lot narrower! This is a really fun section to walk through and there is really only enough room to place one foot in front of the other!Īfter you’ve made it through the narrow waves you can see in the photo above you come to a ladder - the longest ladder in the trail at 16ft. It won’t be long before you suddenly see the path drop to the lower section of Waterholes Canyon. It’s a beautiful walk in it’s own right and part way through I thought we’d already entered the second slot canyon! Look out for the little jars by the canyon walls along the way - a natural rattlesnake repellent - made of special herbs and water. When we were there, this whole section was covered in snow! You reach the second canyon via a long sandy wash, it’s easy walking but would be hot under the summer sun.
