Kanarra Falls, UT
“PACK OUT ALL TRASH” - WHATEVER YOU BRING IN, BRING IT OUT. BE AN EVEN BETTER PERSON AND PICK UP OTHER TRASH YOU HAPPEN TO SEE ALONG THE WAY, TAKE CARE OF OUR EARTH!
Ready to get out of Vegas, into nature, but not too far away? Just take a two and a half hour drive and you’ll find this hidden gem of a hike full of stunning views, slippery rocks, and plenty of opportunities to snap a quick pic! Kanarra Falls is officially in my top 5 favorite hikes which says a lot because I try to do one hike everywhere I travel. Everything i saw online about this place doesn’t do it justice so Here you can see some of the best parts and things to know before you go!
+PR Tip: BUY YOUR PERMIT. They are $12 per person and they only sell 150 for each day and once they run out, that’s it. So buy in advance HERE.
What to know?
+It’s usually about 10-15 degrees cooler than vegas and you’re in the creek mostly so you won’t overheat
+it’s not as sketchy as it looks
+Your feet will get cold at first, then a little numb, then you’ll be over it
What to bring?
+Phone (duh, so many photo spots)
+Sunglasses
+Sunscreen
+Hat
+Camelback (I highly recommend 2 liters per person)
+Snacks (fruit, protein bars, gummies, jerky, whatever sounds good)
+Lunch (grab a sub on the way or make sandwiches before you leave)
+Beer (why not?)
What to wear?
+Loose tank top
+Shorts (preferably ones that dry quick)
+Sports bra (girls only 😉)
+Water shoes (regular tennis shoes are fine too, no socks needed)
What you think you need but really don’t…
+Towel (you’ll dry quick)
+Walking stick (it’s an easy one)
+Bug repellant
BE PREPARED for that tired post-hike feeling by having a change of clothes ready, towel in the car to sit on, and a cooler full of water. This hike isn’t too strenuous, in fact there were tons of families with young children. It’s easy to keep at your own pace, which is also important because the rocks really are so slippery, I came home with a bruised shin (worth it). You’ll learn that I am extremely clumsy anyway so this is no surprise!
