Fiery Furnace Walks

Rangers lead walks into the Fiery Furnace twice each day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. These 2.5 to 3 hour hikes are moderately strenuous, requiring the occasional use of hands to scramble through narrow cracks and along narrow ledges. Visitors are encouraged to accompany a ranger for safety and to reduce impacts. In order to visit the Fiery Furnace without a ranger, visitors must obtain a permit (fee charged) at the visitor center.

In order to support the program, fees are now charged for Fiery Furnace walks. The cost is $8 for adults; $4 for children 6 to 12 years old and Golden Age Pass holders; kids up to 6 years old are free. Group size is limited, and these popular walks often fill a day or two in advance. Sign up and pay your fee in person at the visitor center no more than 7 days in advance of a walk. Maximum tour size is 25 people, 10 of whom may be from a single party. Larger groups can attend separate walks or request a special tour by contacting the park; a minimum of four weeks" notice is advised.

Other Guided Walks

Rangers lead easy, one-hour walks each day at different locations throughout the park. Check at the visitor center or on any park bulletin board for current schedules.

Evening Programs

Join a ranger at the Devils Garden campground amphitheater (next to Canyon Wren group campsite and across the road from campsite #25) nightly. Programs last about forty-five minutes. Check at the visitor center or on any park bulletin board for current schedules.
