Regular readers may already recognize The Narrows. As previously mentioned elsewhere on this website, visitors to Zion National Park will find a number of different hiking trails here that vary in levels of difficulty. The Narrows, however, is hands down the most popular hike to do here in the park.
The Narrows is the biggest canyon on this list. The walls are more than 1,000 feet high and only 20 feet wide in some places. If you want to see the deepest and narrowest parts of the canyon, do a day hike up the Virgin River.
Do you enjoy camping? Speak to the Park Service personnel and get an overnight permit. Then hike The Narrows top-down.
The best time to hike any popular canyon is as early in the morning as possible in order to avoid any potential crowds. You can even try this hike in the fall or winter but then be sure to check on the weather and water temperature. Mind you, if you forget your waterproof gear, you can rent some here in the park. How’s that for convenience?
