Zion National Park - Zion Narrows! The Narrows at Zion National Park has been one of my all-time favorite hikes. Meander up the pristine Virgin River surrounded by large narrow stone walls in this beautiful slot canyon. Start at the Temple of Sinawava (end of the "Scenic Drive"), hike up the Riverside Walk Trail, and then enter the water about a mile later. Go upstream as far as you want and return the same way. No permits are necessary for this hike at Zion National Park.
NOTE: As of 7/20, the Park Shuttles have resumed running at limited capacity by reservation only.
HEED THIS FOR THE NARROWS!
*The biggest danger is flooding in the narrows. By no means enter the canyon against the advice of a Park Ranger. Avoid if rain is in the forecast.
*A walking stick or wooden pole is nearly essential for balance.
*We used normal gym shoes, but many rent special boots for warmth, traction, and stability. The water can get really cold!
*Sufficient water.
*Dry bags if desired.
*A wetsuit if hiking in the off-season.
*Expect large crowds - if want you fewer people, start early or visit in the offseason.

I went to Bryce Canyon overview for sunset and swore I saw you there but didn't wanna disturb you. I did want to say thank you in person tho for your awesome videos. You helped me prepare for a life changing trip. Zion, Arches, Joshua Tree and a bunch more spots. Your videos really helped. Thanks, phil.

Let me start by saying your videos are inspiring and informative. I live in PA. My family and I did Kinzua Bridge state park in June and just returned from Zion National Park and Grand Canyon National Park. Both are absolutely stunning!! No words can describe how majestic and beautiful Zion and the Grand Canyon are. I also enjoyed the Schuylkill River trail video. I grew up in Schuylkill County, PA and always take family to the pioneer coal tunnel when they visit from out west. Again Thanks for making the videos and God Bless. Hopefully I will see you on a trail someday!!

Hi! This is the first time I've commented on one of your videos. I watch a different one every day while I'm eating lunch. I just went out to Utah for the second time three weeks ago. We woke up at 4:30 and didn't quite make it to the Sinawava parking lot and had to walk an extra mile both ways. It was worth it though. Having been to Zion before, I thought it wouldn't seem quite as amazing as it did the first time. Boy was I wrong, this hike is truly spectacular and showcases God's marvelous creation. Watching your videos has been an inspiration for me.

@@AmericasParks Randy, You are very much on top of how to get in! The only park we have lined up to get in early was at Arches . . . and the only place we went at 03:00 in the morning was when we figured out that was the best way to hike to the ocean entry of lava at Hawaii Volcanoes (after many previous visits with poor results). The wind in the morning typically is from the west, and after sunset, it reverses, making the hike back after dark hazardous. So, we hiked in from the end of Chain of Craters road to see the lava at sunrise (and got some amazing photos, when the lava was still glowing red for the camera). Does that mean I am in you club of early risers? Ha!

Thanks and God bless, my friend! Sorry about your experience - that happens often. In my 5 attempts in the Narrows, I was turned away twice.

Hey Randy and Julie....nice to see you guys out and about again....ZION Narrows is awesome walking in the River...We did it 2 years ago with six Families and 19 little ones!!!We didn't go as far as you two did, so enjoyed your video...Looks like a lot more people than 80 cars can unload!!!!Was a real pain waiting for the shuttle for 1.5 hours plus at each stop, so you were lucky it wasn't running...We were supposed to go to Glacier N.P and Yellowstone during July with a lot of people, but all was cancelled!!!May be next year!!!All to best to you and Wifey.....Hank and Pam from South Texas!!!!

Hi Hank and Pam! Hope you guys are doing well and sorry to hear about your trip cancellation. I'm sure you have many great memories from that trip from 2 years ago - 6 families with 19 kids, wow! Yes, I was expecting fewer people, but many came in on private shuttles. Take care!

@AmericasParks

Yes, good reminder for the viewers. We were there the day before they opened the shuttles, hence the early wait in line. Still nice memories.

Did this last summer (2019). Bottom up. Definitely recommend for all bucket lists! I've rafted the Colorado through the Grand Canyon with three buddies in our own, private raft, hiked and climbed in a bunch of mountain ranges, been to all our national parks, except in Alaska, Canadian Rockies, seen volcanoes erupting, Italy's Amalfi coast, Napali, Northern Lights, tornadoes, 65- foot high surf at Waimea...a lot of amazing sights. (Lucky me!) This is near, if not AT, the top. Didn't do the entire 16 miles. Can't. Had to turn around at Big Spring, about 3.6 miles in. (Mandatory turn-around for all bottom-uppers, is my understanding.) One thing not shown/demonstrated here is that there are - or were when I was hiking it - places where the river runs swiftly and deep enough (and that can be as little as two to three feet deep) for one to run the river, as in, just get in and let it carry you along for a few yards. (Just keep those shoed-feet downstream, kids! Rafting 101!) Do it again and again, if you like. When I went, a bunch of kids were doing this. And some "overgrown kids," like me. I wore my Keen reef walkers, which worked great! Just be sure they are cinched on nice and snug. The water was delightful. It was the end of July, air temps in the upper 80's, no threat of rain or T-storms. I'd say the river water temp was in the upper 60's, low 70's, especially in some of the shallower sections and in the sun. When I went swimming, it was totally easy to immerse in T-shirt and shorts. No shock to the system. One final observation. I didn't mind the crowds. It was full of people, but wasn't congested. (I was hiking alone. I'm an introvert-extrovert, btw.) I have rarely felt so much joy, wonder, and happiness as I felt in there. It wasn't just because I was giddy from the experience. Everyone was feeling it, and one could sense that communal spirit. The "peace, love and happiness" was real. The kids were in heaven and their parents were reflecting that too. That, as much as the humbling, awe-inspiring wonder of the landscape itself, was my greatest take-away. It was like the Truman Show, with everyone saying "Hello" and smiling. It reminded me of the Louis Armstrong song "What a Wonderful World." Fun vid, well-done. One suggestion, if I may, for the next one: more shots up the canyon walls to the rims (or close, anyway.) Would love to have seen a few more pans up and around. There's also some cool vegetation I didn't expect to see in the canyon. I am definitely going to do this again as soon as possible! 2020 is probably a no-go, but 2021 is on the wishlist radar!

That was great, David! Wonderful to hear of your amazing adventures! You seem to have done more than thousands of people combined. Totally agree with your assessment. That's what I enjoy about these hikes - the communal spirit of encouragement and cooperation. We sure need more of that in this world. Thanks for the kind words and suggestions!

Yet another icon of west hikes. Zion is all about observation point. 8 miles. Obviously Angels Landing is numero uno.

Kolob is on the radar for me. Unfortunately it was still closed due to COVID. Enjoy your weekend, Matt!

Congrats on your Angels summit. With the Narrows, the two best hikes imho at Zion. Highly recommend you hitting it (if you haven't already). Looking forward to a return visit myself in the near future.

Just stumbled upon your channel and this video. We’re planning on Zion in November so it was great to get this info. We’re full time travelers and make visiting the National Parks a priority, it’s so cool to find your content is like ours in that sense. Stay healthy and safe travels! -Chris & Suzannah
