Hello, Welcome to Travel with Suri. If you are looking for a hiking route, that will amaze you,
challenge you and heighten your appreciation for the south west's natural beauty, then this is an
excellent hike. As the name suggests, it refers to the narrowest section of Utah's Zion canyon.
This canyon is so tall and so narrow that hardly any direct sunlight reaches its bottom.
It is considered one of the best slot canyon hikes in the world.
Welcome to The Narrows, Zion national park - Utah
If you are a casual hiker, who wants to see the best the narrows has to offer, consider
starting your hike from the temple of sinawava, which is a final stop on the Zion canyon shuttle.
From here, you can travel up the riverside walk trail and continue along the river to
take in some of the virgin river's best narrow segments. You can go as far up the river as
you want and turn around whenever you like. A permit is not needed for the bottom of hike.
The national park service closes the narrows whenever the water flow
is above 150 cubic feet per second which can happen frequently during the spring snowmelt.
The main difficulty of hiking the Zion narrows is having to wade through the river. Boulders the
size of basketballs at the bottom of the river can make it difficult to find your footing at
times. Because you walk in the river for much of the hike, this can be quite taxing on your body.
Be prepared to fall, trip and stumble as you make your way across. It's all part of the experience.
When hiking the narrows, you will walk through water up to your knees for almost the entire time.
Accordingly you will need durable water friendly footwear that has toe protection.
Since you will be hiking through water for most of the day and the river current is quite strong
in places, having trekking poles or a hiking stick will help you maintain your balance.
Once you crosses the third or fourth mile, the crowd will be thinner
and the views are breathtaking. I will let you guys enjoy the rest of the video.
So if you are planning to go to Zion national park, I would highly recommend to do
the Narrows and The Angels landing. I hope you all liked my video, if you liked it
