Egypt Slot Canyon. T his slot canyon tour is a 6 mile round trip hike. We drop into a long and narrow slot for 1.5 to 2 miles. This is a fantastic but difficult tour and you must be in shape and able to squeeze thru long narrow convoluting sandstone. (Minimum 2 people). Jun 06, 2010 Egypt 3 canyon consists of a series of scrambling around pot holes and extremely tight slot canyon walls. We did a lot of stemming including times when we were completely stretched with both hands on one wall and both feet on the other to reach. It really is hard to describe how tight many sections of Egypt 3 is. Egypt 3 Slot is a slot canyon in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, Scorpion Wilderness Study Area, UT.

Introduction
Egypt 3 itself can be done without ropes, but is often combined with Egypt 2, making the 'down 2 up 3' trip a technical loop between the two canyons.

If you parked at Egypt 2 (as the road is much rougher after 2), you can exit the canyon and head directly north but staying east of Egypt 2. There is a climb up to exit around 37.5807, -111.2397. It is on the west side of the drainage. It also looked like a climb on the east side was possible. Also, you can hike up Egypt 2 a bit and use the Egypt 2 exit.
