Hike Halls Creek Narrows, Capitol Reef National Park
Halls Creek Narrows is a remote hike/backpack in Capitol Reef National Park. This is a remote hike with the highlight being a 3-mile (4.8 km) long section of slot canyon deeply incised into the white Navajo sandstone. A trickling perennial stream and deep shade from the arching canyon walls create a cool, moist oasis in the midst of the surrounding desert.
From the Halls Creek Overlook, the total round trip distance is 21.9 miles (35.2 km) and is best done as a three to four day trip. Backcountry permits are required for all overnight trips and can be obtained at the visitor center.
Halls Creek Overlook is located on a spur road 3 miles (4.8 km) west of the Notom-Bullfrog Road. The road is rough and requires high clearance four wheel drive. The Notom-Bullfrog Road is hard-packed dirt, usually passable to passenger cars. Total distance from Highway 24 is 57.6 miles (92.7 km).
WARNING: Use caution in narrow canyons particularly during the flash flood season (typically July-September).
