This is hands down one of my most favorite things we ever did. In fact, I loved it so much, I went on it every year we lived there and one year twice. It's a great hike to take visitors to. It is a beautiful slot canyon! It takes about 3 hours to go to the second waterfall and back. You can go further than that, but there really isn't much past that.
The trail is nice and wide so even if there are other people, you don't feel crowded.
Whatever you do, just don't wear flip flops. I wore sneakers because it can get slippery on the rocks.
Bring water because you will get thirsty!
You start out on a dirt trail for about a mile.
Then you get into a spot where you get to stay on a trail or wade through the water. You'll go back and forth from left to right. We of course, chose the water!

After hiking a ways, you get to a ladder. It's basically a tree with boards on it. We sent up an adult first, then the kids, and an adult came up the bottom.
This is from behind the waterfall.
It's breathtaking!
As you can tell, there's many photo opportunities here.
The best part of the whole hike is when you get up past a second waterfall about 1/2 mile.
It's a great swimming hole!
This is a natural waterslide.
The first year we hiked Kanarraville, there was a swing there. But the next year it was gone.
Kanarraville Falls is about 12 miles south of Cedar City. To get to Kanarra Falls, take the Kanaraville exit and turn east on 100 North. There is a $10 parking fee, but you could also park at the church and walk up to the falls. For more info, follow this link: http://www.utah.com/hike/kanarra-creek-canyon-trail.
