Sulphur Creek has cut a deep canyon that passes through the oldest rocks exposed at Capitol Reef. It is a perennial steam with a flow that varies significantly in response to upstream water usage, snowmelt, and heavy rain. There are about two miles of scenic narrows and three small waterfalls. Bypassing the falls requires the ability to scramble down 12-foot ledges. The route nearly always requires some walking in shallow water, but it is not uncommon for there to be much deeper water that might even require swimming. This route may be difficult for children if deep water is present. Ask at the visitor center for the latest condition report. Dangerous flash floods are an occasional hazard on this route - do not hike the Sulphur Creek route if there is a chance of rain. Pets are not permitted on trail or in off-trail or backcountry areas. Pets are permitted on roads and in designated campgrounds. Sulphur Creek - Capitol Reef National Park (U.S. National Park Service)
