Wire Pass is a slot canyon. Slot canyons are typically very narrow with high walls. They can be extremely when rainy conditions exist. If a flash flood would fill the canyon and someone were walking in it they would be unable to escape. Because of this, visitors must get weather reports for the area. I guess the canyon is about 12 miles long and you end up at the Paria River. We hiked in for 2 hours observing the beauty and walking through hip high yucky water. We were looking for an owl that someone had seen. It was good that we left when we did because upon reaching the entrance (now exit) it was almost dark!
