Kanab Creek Wilderness, Protected wilderness area in Coconino County, Arizona.
The Kanab Creek Wilderness contains a network of gorges with vertical walls extending into the Kanab and Kaibab Plateaus, spanning 75,300 acres.
The Arizona Wilderness Act of 1984 established this protected zone, placing it under joint management of the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management.
Archaeological evidence indicates human presence until 1100 AD, with numerous rock art sites scattered throughout the canyon system.
Three primary trails provide access to the wilderness: the 6-mile Jumpup-Nail Trail, 17-mile Ranger Trail, and 21.5-mile Snake Gulch-Kanab Creek Trail.
This wilderness encompasses the largest tributary canyon system on the Grand Canyon's north side, with elevations ranging from 2,000 to 6,000 feet.
