The Butt Crack, World's Narrowest Slot Canyon In St. George Utah

Not for the claustrophobic, this crack is only eight inches wide at it's narrowest point. If you get stuck you're screwed.

Wow, that's a slot canyon. I love all the red rock formations. Thanks for sharing.

Way back in the olden days when we would walk to and from school bare-foot in the snow and it was uphill both ways, we'd go to St. George every year for Spring Break. We'd go to the butt crack at night time when it was dark to make it more exciting. There's a big established trailhead and parking area now, but back then it was something known only by the locals. Same with Little Jamaica which I think you can't access any more.

Nice. I saw one video of a guy doing the crack at night. Looked really cool. Is Little Jamaica in St. George?

Little Jamaica was just above the Virgin River off the I-15 near Beaver Dam. You used to be able to park along the freeway and drop down to it. It was a spring that fed into the Virgin that had several crystal clear pools and lush vegetation. I don't think you can get there anymore (if it even still exits). You certainly can't park along I-15.

Thanks for the info. I'll try to research it.

That is soooo cool! I would do it.

Great video, going someplace I'd be happy to visit after just a few thousand more years of erosion. ?

Some really interesting erosion patterns.

"As of May 2022, the popular swimming hole, “Little Jamaica,” near Littlefield, Arizona is no more. The ADOT has closed-off access to the area below where the man-made swimming hole was located and it appears the swimming hole has been dismantled based on our view across the river."

That sucks. Thanks for looking that up.

Nice, creepy vibe music. I'm afraid I'd get my butt stuck in the butt crack. Nice editing, too. Thanks for sharing.

I'm not sure how you could be rescued if you got stuck in there. There's one point where it's so narrow you can't turn your head around.

I suppose if you're stuck there for a number of days you'll get a little thinner.
