Kodachrome Basin State Park

Kodachrome Basin is a spectacle of towering sandstone chimneys, changing in color and shadow with the day's mood- from red-tinged spires against a blue sky, to soft evening light settling over the desert. This color and contrast inspired prompted the National Geographic Society in 1949, with consent from the Kodak Film Corp., to name the park Kodachrome Nearly 70 monolithic spires, ranging from six to 170 feet in height, jut up from the valley floor or protrude from the sandstone. These natural towers stand like stone sentries overlooking the park and create a backdrop that is sure to delight the senses and spark imagination. The redrock and semi-desert climate make this state park attractive to visitors all year.

We came in spring, I don’t know if popularity takes off in the summer but it wouldn’t surprise me. It is a relatively unknown, hidden gem for fans of the desert and geology. To camp or picnic here is a joy. And, a hiker can truly get into some splendid topography in solitude, unlike sine of the other well-known southern Utah attractions. But with so many other more famous draws to be found close by, I hope this site rewards you with its humble grandeur.

Willis Creek Slot Canyon

Reviewed By rkmaretzki - Calgary, Canada

We did this hike as a half day from Bryce Canyon. This is not a long hike and it’s not a technical hike but the journey is spectacular. After checking at the visitor Center in Cannonville for road conditions and trail conditions we headed to Willis Crerk trailhead. The drive up is challenging with loose sand and steep climbs in places. Best suited to All wheel or 4 wheel drive vehicles but not impossible with a car. This sweet hike follows Willis Creek as it drops below grade at the outset of the hike and continues through progressively impressive narrows ( 5 in total). Have fun hopping over the creek as you go and enjoy the beauty of the area as you pass through the carved canyons.
