Spring Creek Trail

Spring Creek Trail is one of the lesser known trails just to the west of Zion National Park that is fast becoming a hot spot as the typical go-to trails throughout the region get overcrowded during high season. Visit this one from October to April and you will most likely not see more than a few people on it. What we like about this trail is there are almost no unsafe parts to it for little walkers. The only hard part would be the distance if you are wanting to go deep into the slot canyon portion of the hike. Travel 1.5 miles in and you will get a taste of the slot canyon and then turn around. If you don’t make it that far, this trail is still a fun adventure because it has a gradual climb back into the canyon and there are lots of tiny creeks to cross. No need to wear water shoes as they are mostly shallow and during parts of the year most of them will be dry. This trail is both dog and horse friendly, so expect to see poop!
