Well to mix metaphors, his coat blows hair as if he had his own Arctic blizzard!

http://wowhummertours.com/tours/peek-a-boo-slot-canyon/I was looking for exactly the same thing and found this.
We took this trip and found it absolutely wonderful. No camera or tripod restrictions, great guide, only 4 of us, and even dog friendly. This canyon and tour guy is out of Kanab, UT.
I recommend Buckskin Gulch. It is in the Vermillion Cliffs wilderness area, on the Utah-Arizona border near Kenab. You would need a guide, as it is about a 2-hr drive in a 4- wheel drive vehicle on a sandy road with no signs in the wilderness area But you probably won't see anyone else, and the guide will let you take all the pictures you want. The canyon is deep, narrow, and spectacular.

He's not, just a simple misunderstanding.
You're in for a great trip. I spent a week hiking slots all over the southern half of Utah with my oldest daughter and my son-in-law. It was one of the best trips of my life. The slots were beautiful and very different from anything here in New England. A couple of things that I didn't see anyone mention. First bring a spare battery for your camera, I didn't and mine went dead the last day out. Second there were a number of canyons that had standing water that we had to wade through so be prepared with old sneakers or water shoes, something that you can hike in but can take muddy water. We did the Little Wild Horse/ Bell Canyon Loop and there were a number of knee deep spots and a couple of scrambles. Upper Muley Canyon off Burr Trail Rd. near Strike Valley was nice. With care you could probably drive the dirt road all the way to the start of the canyon and save about a 1/4 mi. or play it safe and park a couple hundred yard off Burr Trail Rd. There's a nice arch at the start of the canyon and some small one farther in. The hike was flat and easy, no wading. There's a side trail that goes a short way over a rock dome to a look over into Strike Valley Do Not miss this if you go to this canyon the view were spectacular!

I work in Bryce and an annual pass to all parks is $80. At $35 entrance fee to each of the N.P.s an $80 investment saves a lot of money so for this trip it's well worth the investment.

Some things to be aware of:
That area is so amazing that planning anything in a timeline is not going to survive the first stop. Photo ops are literally everywhere.
The crown situation depends on where you happen to be and varies greatly . The interesting thing to note is that the crowds are mostly unwilling to walk any great distances so if you hike out a bit you will discover wilderness without huge crowds.
Some safety considerations :
First and foremost, do not wander far off the marked trails without proper gear like a GPS, compass and maybe a topo map. It is very easy in many locations to get disoriented and totally lost unless you are paying close attention to navigation.
Second: you are in high dessert plateaus or canyons. Take lots of water if hiking. Invest in some Camelback or equivalent hydration packs if you intend to walk anywhere. Take more water than you think you will need. Dehydration is rapid and not noticed because of low humidity there. That can turn a nice day hike into a deadly situation quickly.
Cellphones will not have a signal in many areas there. Never rely on them for emergency calling in the wilderness areas . Satellite phones or emergency rescue beacons are the only reliable possibility of rescue.
Slot canyons have a unique danger most hikers are unaware of: thunderstorms in the area can cause instant flash floods that have killed hikers caught in the canyons without a way to get clear quickly. The storms may not be close to the hiking areas and the first warning is the wall of water rushing at you with frightening speed . Pay close attention to area weather forecasts anytime you plan on hiking into a slot canyon. If any doubt, stay out.
Finally : if you meet the age requirement (65) purchase one of the national park lifetime passes. Since you will be touring multiple national parks in the area you will save a bunch of money on admissions.
Have a great trip and stay safe out there 👌

Great stuff, just one small correction 62 years old gets the lifetime pass.
