Willis Creek Narrows is an interesting canyon in the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument and is a popular destination for day hikers in the area. Thru hikers along the Hayduke Trail will enter the narrows near the end of Section 8 just after hiking the Upper Paria and before going to (and thru) Bryce.
