Located about 1 hour from the Green River KOA in the San Rafael Desert, Moonshine Wash is one of the best non-technical slot canyons in the area. It is remote enough to not be crowded like other attractions in the area but is still not too difficult to find. Although it isn't considered a "technical" slot canyon, it is not for the faint of heart. It has a variety of small obstacles but nothing too extreme, and it also has extensive narrows that continually change in color as you get deeper into the canyon.
Easy, non-technical slot canyon that is perfect for all ages
The Athena trail lies just southeast of the city of Green River. This 5.5 mile loop is for experienced intermediate to advanced riders. The usual riding season will be March through November. Aerobically, it's a fairly easy ride. There's a bit of up-and-down as the trail twists through badland canyons, adding up to 600 vertical feet per lap. But there are no prolonged climbs.
