Hike the Kanarra Falls Slot Canyon
HikingModerateSummerYear-round
Walk through water to reach a photogenic waterfall framed by narrow canyon walls and a rustic wooden ladder climb.
Itinerary tips
- 1Purchase your permits online well in advance, as the hike is limited to 150 people per day and sells out quickly.
- 2Wear sturdy, closed-toe hiking shoes with neoprene socks, as you will be walking in ankle-to-knee deep water for most of the trail.
- 3Allocate 3 to 4 hours for the round-trip hike to ensure you have plenty of time for photos at the two main waterfalls.
- 4Pack all your gear in a waterproof dry bag to protect electronics and snacks during the scrambles and ladder climbs.
- 5Arrive at the designated town parking lot in Kanarraville, as street parking is strictly prohibited for visitors.
- 6Bring a trekking pole or find a sturdy stick at the trailhead to help maintain balance on the slippery, submerged river rocks.
