The Narrows

5 hours

The Narrows is Zion National Park’s most unique and immersive hike, where the trail is the river. This slot canyon adventure offers endless beauty at every turn, from narrow corridors just 20’ wide to open chambers glowing with reflected sunlight. After the scenic 1-mile paved Riverside Walk, you’ll wade through the Virgin River, surrounded by towering sandstone walls that rise 1,000’ overhead, hanging gardens, and Mystery Falls. Water height varies, with many areas below the knee, but some sections that are waist-deep for most adults.
