When you are planning your trip into The Narrows, you should also be aware of the flash flood potential. Although weather might be over 100 degrees the day of your hike, this narrow section of the canyon can stay considerably cooler, making non-cotton clothing, like polypropylene or wool, more ideal for its insulating benefits even while wet. Every hiker in The Narrows should have closed toed shoes, even just your regular hiking boots, and a walking stick. Due to the risks of a hike like this, proper preparation is imperative, both for your safety and your enjoyment. However, unlike most hikes, taking on the Narrows means actually traveling upstream through the Virgin River on uneven, slippery, and rocky river boulders. One of our more popular hikes visitors come to enjoy is the unique Narrows, a hike in a canyon that in places is only 20-30 feet wide, and 2000 feet deep. ![]() Zion is a popular National Park where visitors come to immerse themselves within the grandeur of the canyon’s cliffs, and to challenge themselves with one of our many scenic and adventurous hikes.
