Land OwnerBLM
The most distant of the Dry Fork slots, but probably the most photogenic, especially if you can catch the sun just right. Getting there requires a mile hike up the sandy open canyon, and the traversable slot is quite short (about 1/4 mile), but it's worth it. No real obstacles in the slot, until you suddenly get to a point that is consistently too narrow for almost everyone. Continuing may be possible with technical equipment and skills.
Access Info
Brimstone is hard to miss. Going down Dry Fork from Spooky, it is the first major canyon on the left. In fact, if you miss the first entrance, there is a second chance right after.
