the narrows

narrows

hiked the narrows in zion national park this past summer & did not enjoy it! the canyon is stunningly beautiful but hiking in water is not my cup of tea. twisted my ankle & fell in the water more than once.

“the narrows” are the narrowest section of zion canyon and the name refers to either the 3.6 mile bottom-up hike or the 16 miles top-down route. it is one of the most popular hikes in the national park.

walking in the water

brought out my camcorder on my summer hike through the narrows in zion national park. I didn’t much enjoy the hiking – walking in knee deep (or higher!) water is not for me – but I did at least enjoy the scenery. I will continue to love slot canyons, but more when the water in them has long since disappeared.
