Diana's Throne (aka Elkheart Cliffs Slot Canyon) is a great beginning canyoneer experience. All obstacles can be hiked around, with a little work, reducing the commitment level. The canyon itself is charming, with a short approach, and some very colorful passages. This is not a canyon hardcore canyoneers would likely enjoy, but for beginners, families, or those wanting a short adventure, it fits the bill very well. Several of the passages are well sculpted and colorful, be sure to bring a camera along.

Note: The canyon is also often done as a hike. Hikers can see most of the canyon, but canyoneers will likely enjoy the canyon more, as the bypasses around the obstacles are not particularly enjoyable. Both options are described.
