For those not in the know, a Via Ferrata is essentially a metal course that allows you to scale a sheer rock wall. You are locked and harnessed in so it’s safe.There is also generally a guide to assist you as well.

The Via Ferrata in Kanab includes areas that are definitely challenging, especially the section where you need to cross using your hands on the rough rock. Still, this will make it even more memorable. You can rappel here too if you choose.

You will be stepping on metal rungs as you climb upward, so it is smart to wear footwear that provides you with good traction on those thing rungs. Hiking boots will work. Is it possible to complete the climb safely without them? Sure, but the right footwear will definitely give you more peace of mind.
