[...] …we made a bet to see who would get married first and although I can’t remember who said Tina would be first, next month we’re actually going to attend her wedding! TL and I are planning to make a road trip out of it-camping out under the Zion canyons and taking a day hike into the Narrows!!! [...]

Almost forgot. All you need are shorts, tightly laced trashy tennis shoes. Pebbles aren’t a problem until you get to the Virgin/Orderville canyon split. You can wear fancy socks if you’re prissy. Hiking stick is a must, 2 preferable. If you don’t have one you will often find one around the corner of the entry to the river at the Temple of Sinawava. Oh, and wear colored socks if you can, black ones. If it’s rained the sand stone will color socks pink permanently.

I live here, sort of, about 80 min’s away. The Narrows have always been my favorite hike. The flowers, ferns & columbines right out of the cliff wall seeping water. Espying the rare Zion frog. It is truly beautiful with the towering cliff’s. 5 Years I’ve been hiking this along with Observation Point and Angels Landing. The best part is, when you have gone as far up the river as you can, you blow up your camelbak and just float down the rapids until it is too shallow. Standup, and walk to the next rapid and jump in.

Hi Judy!

I’m so glad you guys went! I knew if you did you would be glad, it is such an amazing hike.

By the way, I was too busy talking and I didn’t get to see your photos from the hike – next time.

Thanks Ron & Janine for talking us into doing this hike. It was awesome! And renting the gear was the way to go. Makes it so much more enjoyable! We’ll probably do this one again. Thanks!

Thanks Mark! I think I have shared about all I know here!

Richard, man I can’t believe you didn’t hike the Narrows! There is usually a gathering of people at the end of the Riverwalk looking up the Narrows trying to decide if it is worth getting wet for – I think it is!

Man I’m doing this hike next time I’m there. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve stood there at the end of the Riverwalk trail dreaming of walking up the river. Great description of the hike for those of us who havn’t done it.

I’ve heard that you can spot a So Cal native very easily because they’re likely to be the only ones wearing shorts in situations they shouldn’t be.

So when is the “Photographers Guide to Zion” coming out Ron? I like the way the waviness of the foreground rock is repeated in other areas throughout the shot.
