This is an easy, paved path for approximately 1.5 miles. this will add additional miles to your hike.ĭistances: From the Temple of Sinawava, you begin walking on the Riverside Walk Trail. will have to park up the road at other roadside spots, and. You can rest in your car once you have a spot. Due to limited parking - get there very early (before sunrise) to get parking. If the shuttle is not running, you will have to drive to the parking lot at the Temple of Sinawava.

The water in the Virgin River is not potable due to cyanobacteria. Water: You will need to pack in your own water. *You can pick up your gear after 4 on the day before your hike so you can start early the next morning. The stick was such a valuable part of the gear because it is challenging to find solid footing at times when walking through the river. We rented waders, water shoes, neoprene socks, and a walking stick from Zion Outfitters. In colder months, you want to be sure to get the appropriate gear so that your core body temperature does not drop. Gear: The Narrows can be hiked year round. Information below will be for a bottom up hike (out and back) that does not require a permit. This is one of the most epic hikes - but there are many things to consider so that your hike is enjoyable and safe. UT-9 is a very beautiful scenic drive which you should not miss. Doing this, I covered UT-9 all during the day time. My next destination was Grand Canyon National Park, so I left the park around 3:00 PM so that I could reach Flagstaff, AZ before the night. It is good not to drive in the evening or night because you can cover scenic UT-9 in the morning. I left the hotel at 7:00 AM and reached the park around 8:00 AM via UT-9.

George, UT which is one hour drive from the park. You should enjoy the beautiful sounds of the running water :) I planned my trip by staying the night in St. There was lots of water in the river passing through the park. I visited the park in June, it was around 80F. It is a big park to cover in one day but you can take the bus from the base camp to quickly visit most important scenic points around the park. There is almost a couple of hours of hike from the base camp.

Some of my favourites were Lower Emerald and Higher Emerald pool. There are so many scenic points all over the park. It is difficult to describe the natural beauty of Zion National Park in words or pictures.
