Saturday morning we got up bright and early and hit the road. The drive to Goblin Valley was about two and a half hours. First we wanted to hike Little Wild Horse slot canyon. This hike is located about 5 miles outside of Goblin Valley. Little Wild Horse canyon is a little over 4 miles, instead of walking to the end, turning around and walking back we chose to loop around and hike through Bell's Canyon too. It is also a slot canyon and added about 4 more miles. The total of our hike ended up being around 8 miles.
Funny story, we hiked a couple slot canyons back in August and one of them had a lot of standing water throughout the canyon and we ended up having to take our shoes off and wade through the water that was about to our thighs. This time we kept joking about running into standing water and what we would do. We only had about a mile left of the hike and were in Bell's Canyon when we reached standing water. I busted up laughing because I couldn't believe that we would have to do it again. Luckily we were able to get past the deep pools without having to get wet. It made the hike a little more technical but also more fun.
