The Slot
Borrego Springs, CA
By Simir Shah
A narrow sandstone slot canyon where the walls close to shoulder width in places — thrilling for kids old enough to walk it themselves, far too tight for a stroller. Never go in if rain is forecast anywhere upstream, because slot canyons flash-flood, and the access road is rough dirt.
