The Lost Canyon Peekaboo Trail Description
The Peekaboo Canyon Trail is an adventurous route for experienced hikers. This trail has steep sections where hikers will have to ascend and descend fixed ladders. If you have a fear of heights, this probably isn’t the best trail for you.

Set up your tent and enjoy a night in the Utah desert at Peekaboo Camp or turn around and follow the same route back out to the trailhead.
