6 trails
Pa'Rus Trail
EasyA paved, mostly flat trail along the Virgin River. Bikes and leashed dogs welcome - one of the few pet-friendly options in the park.
Riverside Walk
EasyA paved, accessible walk along the North Fork of the Virgin River. The gateway into The Narrows - stunning even without going further.
Weeping Rock
EasyA quick paved walk to a dripping alcove - great for families and a perfect first stop in the canyon.
Emerald Pools
EasyThree tiered pools connected by short trails - the lower pool is stroller-accessible; the upper pool requires a moderate scramble.
Timber Creek Overlook
EasyA short ridge walk to the end of Kolob Canyons Road with panoramic views of Timber Creek, Kolob Terrace, and the Pine Valley Mountains.
Coalpits Wash
EasyA well-defined wash hike to Coalpits Spring, with the option to continue into Scoggins Wash. No formal trail past the first junction - just follow the drainage as far as you like. Little shade; best visited in spring.
