Hike the Kanarra Creek Falls

HikingModerateSpringSummerFall

Climb a rustic ladder next to a gushing waterfall in a deep red slot canyon; a more intimate alternative to The Narrows.

Itinerary tips

  • 1Book your permits online weeks in advance as they are limited to 150 hikers per day and often sell out.
  • 2Wear sturdy, closed-toe hiking shoes with excellent grip, as you will be walking directly through water and on slippery rocks.
  • 3Plan for a 3.5 to 4.5 mile round-trip trek that typically takes 3 to 4 hours depending on your pace.
  • 4Bring neoprene socks or a change of dry shoes for the car to keep your feet comfortable after several hours in the cold creek.
  • 5Arrive at the designated town parking lot in Kanarraville, as street parking is strictly prohibited for hikers.
  • 6Pack a waterproof bag for your phone and camera to protect them from the frequent mist and splashing near the falls.
