Kanarra Falls Hike

This morning we headed to Kanarraville, a small town 30 miles north of Hurricane. Kanarra Falls are located in Kanarra Creek Canyon, a slot canyon. After we parked the car we headed up the road which turned into a creek and off we went. Although the parking lot was quite full we really didn't see a lot of people. Before long the canyon walls narrowed and the first waterfall appeared, followed by more. Ladders were provided making it possible for us to continue on into the canyon. The creek was cold at first, but soon it felt refreshing as we hiked along. We covered about 4 miles of trails most of which was in the creek. After the hike we headed to Cedar City and had a great lunch at Brad's Food Hut.

We learned a little about Kanarraville today

More interesting stuff

The town provides a nice parking lot for a $10 fee

Starting up the road

The road turns into a creek

There were a few obstacles along the way

The canyon quickly narrows

The slot canyon begins

Kent couldn't resist

Something different at every turn

The canyon walls twist and turn

What's up around the corner?

The first ladder

Up we go

The ladder was really nice to use

It didn't feel that steep climbing up

Here we used an old tree to get past this little waterfall

This could be refreshing on a really hot day

Occasionally the canyon opened up a little

Then it narrowed again

It was deeper in a few places

We had the place to ourselves

The creek climbed quite a bit as we hiked along

We should have worn our swim suits

We turned around here

Maybe next time . . .

What a pretty spot

People were sliding down these waterfalls

We did get a little wet, but it was worth it

One of the many small waterfalls along the trail

This would not be a safe place to be during a rain storm

Heading back out

Colorful rock walls

Holes in the canyon wall

Interesting red roots

Clouds were building as we came out of the canyon

A cute old garage in Kanarraville

I wish . . .
