Great slot but not for the claustrophobic or for big people. The slot is as pretty in pics, though I was there on an overcast day and the colors really didn't shine. The first part was nice but the footing is tricky where it is too narrow for to keep walking and you have to prop your feet up on one wall and your body on the other. I got up the slot ok but realized there was not a good place to do the same to go back and it took me a while. I turned around at a pour over that I could not climb though others said it was worth it. Its a long slow slog through deep loose beach sand much of the way. I am good with route finding and we did get slightly lost, as did a large number of other people out there that day. The overcast skies certainly made it hard to get a sense of direction. And there are many paths that break off from the intended route. No cairns at all in the last section where we got lost between Harris Wash and the wash that leads to Zebra. No water in the slot so that helped. It was busy but people were good about taking turns to let people enter and exit the narrow sections. I suggest packing a good amount of patience. Also there is no sign on Hole in the Rock Road, just know it is 8 miles south of Hwy 12 and you park on the right immediately after crossing a cattle guard.

This review is for the zebra slot only, not the entire region or other hiking trails. Zebra slot Canyon is definitely an interesting geologic feature. I don't recommend hiking through it alone, because there is opportunity to fall and become dangerously lodged in the slot. While the zebra slot is interesting, I'm not sure it's worth the hike to get to it, unless you're visiting zebra slot simply as part of your overall excursion. When I visited I took the combination tunnel slot zebra slot loop trail. Warning: this Trail is a navigational nightmare if you're trying to use a trail map. however, tunnels slot is much easier to get to TimeWise and I found it more interesting than zebra slot. Don't be mistaken, this entire region is a geological marvel. You are not wasting your time with any hike long or short. Here I'm just saying that the walk to zebra slot might not be worth it if zebra slot is all that's on your itinerary.
