September 11, 2022 NARROWS HIKE ~Zion National Park, Springdale, Utah

 What an adrenaline rush!

Soaked shoes, sandy socks, wading up to our knees, walking UPSTREAM in the Virgin River😂... and afterwards looking at each other saying...."Did we really just do that 😲?" Who knew that we would/could be so daring and adventurous! 

Yes, this was one of those once-in-a-lifetime, spur of the moment decisions, with no regrets! #thethrillofalifetime #iwouldoitagain #bucketlist

"The Narrows is the narrowest section of Zion Canyon. This gorge, is one of the most popular areas in Zion National Park." You can see The Narrows by hiking along the paved, Riverside Walk for one mile from the Temple of Sinawava.

If you wish to see more......... you walk in the Virgin River........... and that is what we did!

Wading upstream was a sensation that I will never forget. The sites were gorgeous and breath-taking.

"The Narrows is a unique 2-mile round trip hike that takes hikers through a beautiful canyon. Hikers are sometimes shoulder-deep, ankle-deep, and or knee-deep in the Virgin River while walking the distance. Flash floods are a major concern when hiking." 

The gorge has walls a thousand feet tall. In some places, the river is just twenty to thirty feet wide. The waterfalls were numerous. Often the Narrows is closed due to flooding after a rain. 

We did not make this an all day hike, but made it far enough to say:

WE HIKED THE NARROWS!
