The Narrows - Zion National Park

The Narrows is one of the most famous trails in the world. This slot canyon hike is 16 miles one way if you do the full length. Only a limited number of permits are given per day so its difficult to arrange this at the convince of when you might be at the park. The solution is to plan a long day, hiking in from the bottom and getting out before dark. You don't need a permit to day hike up into the Narrows from the bottom (Temple of Sinawava parking area). There really is not a trail at all. It is a long river walk, you will get wet, you will need to be sure the water is not too high or any flash flood dangers are possible that day. Someday, I will return again to Zion to do this hike. These pictures are from the first half mile, well before it even starts to get good!
