The Narrows Hiking Tour

This 5-hour tour is an incredible experience, especially in the heat of the summer. It includes one mile in and one mile out on a dry trail that is spectacularly beautiful, then up to 2 miles in and 2 miles out on the "wet" river trail. The distance depends on what you want to do!

This is the perfect hot weather hike! We will be tackling The Narrows, an amazing trail that takes place a little on land and a lot in the water. We will meet at the Visitors' Center, just inside the entrance to Zion National Park. We will board the park shuttles for a 30 minute trip at the bottom of the extremely scenic canyons that make up Zion.

At the trailhead we start off with one mile of "dry" path. This is the beautiful, shady but short Riverside Trail that meanders through the Narrows Canyon. It is mostly flat, and mostly concrete, which makes for easy going.

Then when we reach the end of that trail we get into the water for the "wet" portion. We can go as far as 13 miles in the river, though we rarely get more than two. The massive, awesome cliffs will surround you and take your breath away. The canyon walls will close in until they are scarcely 15 feet apart and two thousand feet high!

After that we return to the "dry" trail, board the park shuttle and head back to the Visitors' Center.
