Kanarra Falls

Kanarraville

4.8 (1.2k) Slot Canyon

Kanarra Falls is a scenic 3.7-mile slot canyon hike in Southern Utah often dubbed the mini Narrows, where hikers wade through a flowing creek bordered by towering red sandstone walls. The trail's standout feature is an iconic rustic wooden ladder that visitors must scale alongside a rushing waterfall to continue through the canyon. It is widely showcased as an adventurous, moderate summer water hike featuring cold pools, multiple cascades, and slippery rock scrambles.

Commenters express overwhelming enthusiasm and wanderlust for the hike, frequently praising its astonishing natural beauty and adding it to their travel itineraries. The primary viewer discussion revolves around logistics, with many asking how to obtain permits and sharing notes regarding the strict daily capacity limits and entrance costs.

  • Purchase a $15 permit in advance, as access is strictly capped at 200 hikers daily.
  • Plan your trip for the summer to best handle the cold creek water.
  • Wear reliable water shoes with strong traction for slick rocks and wet ladder rungs.
  • Leave pets at home, as dogs are strictly not allowed on the 3.7-mile trail.
