My family of 5 (14,12,12) hiked 9 miles (4.5 each way) of the narrows. We started rather early (around 9:00 am) to avoid the masses. What an amazing family outing. Definitely on our top 5 . The water was cool but not as cold as...More

My wife and I did a 2hr hike up the narrows July 2017. The first few steps you start to say, why did I get into this. It takes about 20 minutes for your toes to go numb and then the water starts to feel...More

What an experience! Beautiful hike through the Virgin River inside the canyon. It's not easy, and I would not recommend doing it without the water hiking boots and socks as well as a walking stick. Even with those it can be tricky navigating the rocks...More

The boys and I did the overnight top-down hike through the Narrows. It was a really hard hike, 16 miles through the water and rocks. Having said that, it was one of the most amazing places I have ever been. If you are anywhere near...More

The Narrows was an amazing experience for our group because we had the right gear. We got shoes, socks and walking sticks at Zion Outfitters. Best decision we made on the trip.

This was the best hike of the vacation. The soaring canyons are gorgeous and although we got started mid-day in brutal heat, 105 in the shade, we were rarely hot because we were in and out of the river. Don't be deterred by taking the...More
