Face Canyon

Face Canyon opens off the main channel about 22 miles uplake from Glen Canyon Dam. Its wide mouth has sandy coves suited to camping or tying up a houseboat, and its side branches are good to explore by kayak. A shallow slot at the back changes length with the lake level.

Boater notes (2026): two short slot canyons with swimming holes, one at the very back and one on the left side about a quarter of the way in. An easy walk for any age.
