Embracing outdoor life is key to fully appreciating the
wonder that is Southern Utah. Life in St. George, Utah includes access to
scenic hiking trails, miles of running and biking trails, camping locations,
National Parks, and of course, golf.
Kanarraville Falls is one of the hikes in Southern Utah that
shouldn’t be missed. Just 30 miles north of St. George not too far off of I-15,
you can find this hidden slot canyon that is a perfect hike for kids and adults
alike.
We hiked at a fairly leisurely pace, went all the way up to
the second waterfall (mind you these are 14 foot waterfalls, not 40 foot
waterfalls), allowed the kids quite a bit of time to play in the water and were
back down to the car in 3.5 hours.
Wear hiking shoes that can get wet. We had people in tennis
shoes or sturdy water shoes. Don’t wear flimsy sandals or flip flops. Take
water to drink.
Finding the trail isn’t hard. Exit I-15 at the “New
Harmony/Kanarraville” exit. It is close to mile marker 41. Follow the road
signs to Kanarraville—about a 5 minute drive east of the freeway. In the middle
of town there is a small sign that points to Kanarraville Falls parking. The
parking lot is three blocks off the main road. Parking cost $10, so plan to pay
or follow the posted instructions to free parking back down by the main road.
There is no cost to hike the trail. You start on a dirt road and eventually
move onto trails. Keep following the creek up the little canyon to experience
the beauty.
