Description

First time visitors to Zion National Park, tucked into Utah's southwest corner, are overwhelmed by the scale of its gaping canyons and massive sandstone monoliths.
Lying at the end of Zion Canyon is the Riverwalk, a pathway that follows the Virgin River to the entrance of the Narrows. The Narrows is the most popular hike and one of the most challenging undertakings in the park. This route takes the daring along the streambed of the Virgin River. Much of the hike is in and out of the rock-strewn water, requiring a permit, a hands free approach, special shoes for the icy water and loads of stamina. Before attempting this 16 mile trek, a stop at the park Visitor Center is required and danger levels assessed, as flash floods in this narrow slot would certainly spell disaster. Enjoying the Narrows doesn't always require a full commitment (Hiking upstream as far as Big Spring does not require a permit), and many visitors follow the Narrows for a shorter distance.
