Zion National Park Trip with Kids | Featuring The Narrows and Emerald Pools | Tips for Zion 

When hiked the narrows we rented our gear from Zion Gurus. They provided us with special river hiking shoes. Definitely helped. But I also saw a lot of people walking with water sandals, but they typically weren't hiking as far.

The heat shouldn’t be too bad mid June, I think most days it was in the low to mid 80s. We were there end of June. Depending on how adventurous your kids are I think they can handle portions of the of the hikes. We took our kids on walks and hikes leading up to our trip to see how far they could walk/hike without complaining, ha ha. That helped us assess what they could do in Utah.

@@nickcharrow6399 thank you! Do you have any activities to recommend? We will go to Salt Lake City , Bryce, Zion, Grand Canyon .

Thanks! Glad you like it. The shuttles weren’t running. We took private shuttles which were pricey. However the public shuttles are running now but you have to buy tickets in advance.

When we were there at the end of June it wasn’t bad but it’s probably pretty hot now.

We went at the end of June and started Narrows Hike at 8 or 9am. Cant exactly remember.

@@nickcharrow6399 Thank you!

There really was only 1 or 2 sections when we went in June of 2020 that were pretty deep. I put my son on my shoulders and my daughter kind of swam through it a bit. But we realized after we got through the deepest part, that had we stayed closer to the edge it wasn't as deep. When I say deep, I mean like 4ft. Much of the hike is .5 - 2ft.

Thanks! We took private shuttles into the park at about 9am and it took only about 15 mins to get in the park. It does seems like there is a mad rush to get in first thing but then dies down later in the day. Although if you go later there will probably be no public parking.
