You may turn around after you finish the narrows part, and it will only be about 2.6 miles round trip.Īpproximate hiking time – 1.5 to 2.5 hoursĮlevation at confluence of Sheep Creek (turnaround point) – 5700 feet I’m not saying that a slot canyons/narrows veteran will be bored with Willis Creek either, because the gorgeous rock formations and orange water make for a memorable hike! Willis Creek Hike Detailsĭistance – 4.8 miles round trip, or shorter. I promise, you’ll love this one, and it will be the first of many slot canyons/narrows that you will hike. It is a great beginning hike to go on if you’ve never hiked in a slot canyons/narrows and want to see if it’s something you’d like.
I have hiked Willis Creek several times, and each time was a different experience and equally enjoyable. Located off Skutumpah Road in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, Willis Creek Narrows offers a wonderful short hike with great visual rewards and minimal effort.
