Hike to Knarra Creek Falls

Kanarraville, Utah

Description

Distance: 3.5 miles roundtripBeautiful photogenic waterfalls

Knarra Falls is a 3.5 mile roundtrip moderate hike. You will be climbing up and down, and crossing the stream, since the trail follows the stream. The canyon will eventually close in towards the end, and you have no choice but to wade in the water to reach the falls. Don’t turn back because of this, it is worth it to see at least the first waterfall. You can get to the second waterfall by climbing the ladder. Climbing up is easier than climbing down. There is also a rope provided.

There is a $10 fee to pay in the parking lot (the sheriff lives within walking distance, so I’d suggest you pay).

Directions: Take 15 north out of St. George to exit 42 Knarraville. You’ll turn right off the exit, then a quick left on old US 91. Follow this to town (be careful of livestock roaming the roads), and you’ll see a sign on the right to turn right, should be on E 100 St N.

Kanarra Falls via Kanarraville Slot Canyon

Kanarra Falls is a gem of a hike that takes you into the Kanarraville slot canyons in southern Utah and the infamous Kanarra Falls. After hiking half a mile or so from the parking lot on a fairly open trail the canyon slots up. This is where the fun begins. Here you will have to walk through the water into the slot canyon, following the water upstream the rest of the way. After another half mil...

Middle Fork Taylor Creek in Kolob Canyon

The Taylor Creek trailhead sits in the little-explored part of Zion National Park known as Kolob Canyon just south of Cedar City. The trail starts at around 6,000 feet and then drops a little lower in to the canyon and runs along Taylor Creek. With 450 feet of elevation change along the five-mile roundtrip trail, this is a great outing for those just getting into trail running. The trail isn't ...

Kolob Arch

You'll see a Zion National Park Visitor's Center. Here you can fill up on water, use the bathroom, and get a map to the arch. From the visitor's center head up the only road in the canyon and follow it for a few mi...

Backpack the La Verkin Creek Trail

I've visited Zion National Park twice this year and the experience between the two visitations were like night and day. Zion National Park is by no means a secret, and for good reason. Hikes such as Angels Landing, and the Narrows are locations which are sought after by every outdoorsman and novice alike! With 8 million visitors annually and counting, being bumped off Angels Landing Cliffs by a...
