The Hot Loop in Oak Creek, and Miyagi Canyon near Bear Mountain it did not disappoint. While these canyons are not in the same character as some of the Slot Canyons in Sedona, they provide a great way to interact with this unique landscape. the best time of year to check them out is Fall through early spring before the heat starts to set in.

These Sedona Canyoneering options are not very dangerous for flash floods. That said, it is never recommended to descend any canyon during rain events. It is unlikely that you will have to swim. Regular rugged hiking clothes will do the trick. These canyons are relatively short.They could be completed by athletic children that can hike 3 to 4 miles.
