Leprechaun Slot Canyon near Hanksville, Utah (non-technical) Short, beautiful hike. Photography.

Leprechaun Canyon is just south of Hanksville, Utah just off the highway mile marker 28. The right fork is for non- technical hikers. There is also an option to repel in from higher up the trail. This is an easy, family fun trail with a short slot canyon. As with any slot canyon, STAY OUT IF IT LOOKS LIKE RAIN ANYWHERE IN THE SURROUNDING AREA!

Next spring I plan to go there. Do I need a permit? And how many miles from Hanksville?

[@2utahhikers]

No permit needed

[@sherigraham3873]

Fantastic 😊! And how long is the hike? Does it get tighter and tighter in the canyon so you turn back.

Have looked at a few "2 Utah Hikers" videos now...WONDERFUL photography!

This one looks great. I didn't realize there were non-technical options in this canyon.

[@2utahhikers]

Yes, just take the right fork. Thanks for watching!

I appreciate this review as I am looking for some short hikes into slot canyons with my dogs... Question, I noticed you doing some rock scrambling over a small boulder. Is that at the entry, or is that farther in? Trying to figure out what dog lifting I will have to do! Thanks,

[@2utahhikers]

That Boulder is in a side slot to explore, not the main trail. Your dogs will make the main trail just fine.

We’re going to the area in May. Are there trailheads marked for places like this?

[@2utahhikers]

There is not a sign marking the trailhead here. Its 28 miles south of Hanksville. Google Maps can help you. There is signage for Little Wild Horse Canyon which is near Goblin Valley, also in the area.

[@marktrishlester4846]

Great video! How far of a walk is it from the parking lot till you get to the slot? Thanks!

[@2utahhikers]

Thanks for watching! Its a short hike, less than a mile to reach the slot.

[@marktrishlester4846]

@@2utahhikers Thanks for responding! Another question...we are limited in some of what we can do. I have noticed in some videos in Leprechaun that some people look like they are walking across slickrock to get to what I'm gonna call the big room that eventually leads into the dark area. Does that sound about right and if so, is it possible for you to describe that route to me? TIA!

[@2utahhikers]

@@marktrishlester4846 the trail starts out in sand and is flat, then you scramble up a short section of slickrock or wind your way through a small tight slot, both ways will take you into the canyon. It's flat slickrock from there, very easy to navigate to the narrow slot at the end.

[@marktrishlester4846]

@@2utahhikers Thanks again! We are planning a trip and came across this canyon accidentally and we will be in the Hanksville area and just love slots! Really looking forward to it. We really appreciate the info!! 🤠

[@thecaptain6994]

From where you park, how far is the canyon? How long is the canyon that a fat guy can hike?

[@2utahhikers]

Its a short hike and short canyon. You can do it!
