Upper Waterholes Canyon is a non-technical slot canyon that you can hike with your dog. Located just south of Page, Waterholes is one of the last tributaries into Glen Canyon. This short hike meanders along sandstone walls that change color depending on the time of day. Upper Waterholes is considered anything above Waterholes Bridge. Although these are the least technical sections of the canyons, they are some of the most photogenic. To get into the canyon, you have to hike a quarter mile along the rim. Cairns dot the trail here and there. Once in the canyon, you can either hike upwards or go downwards towards Middle and Lower Waterholes. No technical gear is needed for Upper Waterholes (but rappeling gear is needed for Middle and Lower Waterholes.)
Dog owners will need a permit to hike this area. Head to https://visitpagelakepowell.com/slot-canyon-tours and click on Waterholes Canyon to learn more.
