Willis Creek Narrows
Many slot canyons and narrows in Utah are hard to get to and some involved scrambling, but Willis Creek Narrows is an easy drive and an easy hike. I came to it from Kodachrome Basin. Between Kodachrome and Cannonville watch for a turn-off to the Skutumpah Road. This is a good dirt road (except after a rainfall) and the drive to the signed trailhead is 6.3 miles. The trail winds its way down into the creekbed and then follows the canyon downstream and then back for a 5 mile hike.
There is a series of narrows separated by some open spaces. The creek runs down the sand-gravel course through sandstone walls.
Some sections are more like a slot canyon.
The turn-around point is up to the hiker. The canyon goes on for many miles, but the narrows section ends at the Sheep Creek junction.
This easy hike is suitable for families and is a pleasant spot for everyone to visit.
