Relative of a slot canyon (5)

I believe the answer is:

gulch

(Other definitions for gulch that I've seen before include "American ravine" , "Ravine - canyon" , "Narrow ravine (US)" , "Narrow gorge with a stream in North America" , "A narrow gorge with a stream running through it" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
