As an outdoor adventure enthusiast, I’m always on the lookout for unforgettable hikes, and Kanarra Falls in Southern Utah did not disappoint. Tucked away near Cedar City and just a short drive from Saint George, this hidden treasure offers the perfect combination of stunning views, adventure, and natural beauty. What made this trip even more special was my overnight stay at Little Village Retreat—a unique stay that let me slow down, relax, and truly appreciate all that Southern Utah has to offer.
Hiking Kanarra Falls
Kanarra Falls is one of those hikes that feels like stepping into another world. The trail winds through a gorgeous slot canyon, complete with towering red rock walls and crystal-clear streams. It’s about 4.4 miles round-trip, so it’s accessible for most hikers who are ready for a bit of a challenge. Be prepared to get wet—wading through the creek is part of the fun! I highly recommend wearing water shoes or sturdy hiking sandals.
Reaching the first waterfall was magical. The cascading water and the ladder climb to continue further into the canyon felt like a true adventure. The second waterfall was just as breathtaking, and the entire journey offered plenty of photo opportunities and moments to connect with nature.
Why Stay at Little Village Retreat?
After spending hours hiking and splashing through the streams, the thought of driving all the way back home with wet feet and tired legs wasn’t appealing. Instead, I booked a night at Little Village Retreat, located conveniently near Kanarra Falls, Cedar City, and Saint George.
Staying at Little Village Retreat turned out to be the best decision of my trip. The comfortable beds, cozy atmosphere, and private outdoor views made it the ideal spot to unwind. I took a warm shower, changed into dry clothes, and relaxed on the porch while soaking in the beauty of Southern Utah. The retreat provided a peaceful and unique stay that felt like a true escape from the everyday hustle.
Exploring More in Southern Utah
Waking up refreshed at Little Village Retreat, I started planning my next adventure. While Kanarra Falls was the highlight of this trip, I’m already looking forward to the 2025 season when I’ll return to explore even more of Southern Utah. Next time, I plan to hike Kanarra Falls again but also venture out to Kolob Canyon, another spectacular destination near Cedar City.
Kolob Canyon offers stunning views and incredible hiking trails, making it the perfect addition to any outdoor itinerary. Staying at Little Village Retreat puts you in the heart of it all, with easy access to both Kanarra Falls and Kolob Canyon.
