Willis Creek is a beautiful slot canyon located near Kodachrome Basin State Park that does not require much hiking to reach. From Cannonville, you will travel south on Kodachrome Road for about two-and-a-half miles, and take a right onto Skutumpah Road, which you will follow for about six miles to the Willis Creek Trailhead. Skutumpah Road is a fairly-well maintained dirt road which I was able to travel both times I visited in a Corolla without much trouble. To reach the Willis Creek Narrows from the parking area, you will just need to cross the road and follow the stream.
The stream will quickly drop down into a slot canyon. Willis Creek runs right down the middle of the slot canyon, so be prepared to get your shoes wet. As both times I visited were in November, the water was not very deep. When I visited in 2008, I remember being able to keep my shoes fairly dry by walking on the frozen parts of the creek, before it melted, later in the day. Willis Creek goes for two miles before it runs into Sheep Creek, however the most interesting parts are located in the first mile or so. Willis Creek stays pretty narrow and interesting for the first mile, making it a very low-effort, high-reward slot canyon.
