Tours and Activities

Commercial tours of the park:

Ranger-led tours:

  • Daily Guided Walk (free): One mile hike on easy-moderate trails that takes 45-60 minutes. All ages welcome, and no registration is needed, but the hike only is available from June 18-Sept. 30. Meet at the Courthouse Towers.

  • Fiery Furnace hikes: There are two hikes. A 2.5 hour loop hike, and a shorter, slightly easier out-and-back hike. Due to the hike's demanding nature, children under 5 are not allowed, and elderly visitors are not recommended to attempt the hike. Once started, the tours must be completed with the guide due to the canyon's maze-like nature. Loop hike tickets are $16 for adults and $8 for children (5-12 years old. Must be accompanied by an adult). Out-and-Back tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children (5-12 years old. Must be accompanied by an adult.)
