The Iconic Narrows At Zion National Park

When people visit Zion, I tell them they must hike The Narrows. It’s a huge slot canyon that the Virgin River has carved over millions of years. It’s not necessarily a hike as much as it’s a ford. You’re hiking in the river 80 percent of the time. So bring a pair of your old hiking shoes and a hiking pole for stabilization. And of course a good camera. These images are from this past summer.

The canyon walls soar some 1,200 feet above the Virgin River.

I used my Google Pixel 2 Phone to get these images and none were altered in any way! Amazing Camera Phone. This is The Narrows at Zion National Park, Utah.

A Friendly Walk Up the Narrows

Visiting friends, Ken and Rich from St. Louis, requested the mandatory stroll up Zion National Park’s The Narrows. A must for any visitor. The Virgin River is very refreshing to hike through on a 90 degree day. It’s still hot here in Southern Utah.
