Ding and Dang Slot Canyons – Epic Loop in the San Rafael Swell

This video shows the hike through Ding and Dang Slot Canyons in the San Rafael Swell of Utah. Ding and Dang Slot Canyons are located near Bell and Little Wildhorse Canyon, and you access Ding and Dang by driving down the wash off the main road. Ding Canyon is easier than Dang Canyon, but it still requires some basic scrambling skills. If you're going to do the whole loop, start in Ding and come down Dang because you'll probably find it easier. Dang Canyon is more technical, with three sections that require down-climbing. We rappelled all three sections since we had our climbing gear, but with the right skill level and physical capability, you wouldn't need to rappel them. That said, take at least 40 feet of rope because the "handlines" that are there may be unusable and you'll need to use your own. If you have any questions, drop a comment and I'll reply.
