This was my first adventure in the swell, and I’m so grateful for the recs from RTR. We started around 8:15am and did this hike with a bit of trail running where we could - off the trail by around 10:45am. It was beautiful and easy to navigate. No rope or technical experience needed. |

Molly and I got to trail head early (8:30 am... ish) beat the crowds. Both canyons were dry. We went up bells and down little horse... We should have done the opposite. Little horse was very crowed by the time we got over there. Large families many with very little hiking experience and/or etiquette. Was difficult to pass slower groups. Canyon was beautiful, we would do it again (counter clockwise) if we are in the area again. |

This is a great canyon that I wish was harder to get to. We arrived fairly early and avoided most of the crowd, but it was a VERY family friendly and on the way back we encountered hoards of families, tour groups, and dogs. As for the canyon itself, it is gorgeous. A great introduction to slots that does not require any technical equipment or expertise. We didn't bother with the loop and just went up LWH and back. Recommended visit off season to avoid the crowds, unless you have a minivan full of kids and need something a little more after visiting Goblin Valley. |

Great little canyon. We were a little sore from Crack Canyon and in a hurry, but we're glad we took the time. We're young and fast so we did little wild horse in probably 2 hours. It's gorgeous. It gets pretty narrow and to stay dry you end up bracing yourself above the water with both legs. It gets exciting, but not dangerous. When we were there there was a big muddy spot right at the mouth of the canyon, but you can easily avoid it and climb left of it. We quit at the big pot at the end. (You can keep going and loop to Bell Canyon). We didn't get to Bell canyon as we were short on time and ppl said Little Wild Horse is prettier. |

8 people, youngest 9. Did full loop in about 4 hours. Fun scrambles in a few places, nothing technical or difficult. |
