kolob canyon

Kolob Canyon is a small hidden treasure for those who appreciate the outdoors.

Only an hour outside of Zion National Park and just 20 minutes from Settlers Junction lies Kolob Canyon, a 40-mile stretch that delivers countless adventures in the form of empty hiking trails and 2,000-foot cliff walls. While these wilderness waterfalls generally attract crowds on hot summer days, Pine Creek waterfall remains less crowded. Its small but swimmable feature is an easy mile round trip hike from an unmarked trailhead near the south entrance into it–but beware: if a flash flood strikes, the pleasant creek side journey becomes suddenly dangerous.

The scenic views and picnic area make it an ideal spot to enjoy time with friends or family while appreciating Mother Nature in all her glory at Timber Creek Overlook. Don’t want to stop? That’s ok! Enjoy the park by going on it’s 5-mile scenic drive.
