Does anyone have any recommendation of slot canyons to explore in the Moab area? I have been to some in Escalante, but thats about all I know of in Utah.

I dont want anything too dangerous or difficult - just a fun day of exploration....

All I know of is The Needles region which is in the Canyonlands.

Moab isn't particularly famous for slot canyons.

Little Wild Horse Canyon
Hobbit is right, but if you don't mind a bit of a drive from Moab, maybe 1 1/2 hours +/-, you should definitely give Little Wild Horse canyon a try. Incredible place, and a quite easy hike. And as a bonus, it's right near Goblin Valley State Park, which is a completely unique place in itself. To do the drive from Moab, see the slots, and Goblin Valley too, I'd plan on a full day, or even a quick overnight. I'll post some images or links from a few of the times I've been there. Enjoy!!
