Hike the Narrows of Zion N.P.

Hopefully making this trip with my pops this summer, dependant on scheduling, which is usually a mess.

No I don’tmean just walking to the mouth of the narrows, busloads of people do that every day! Walk the whole thing from the top to the mouth and out. There are less than 100 days a year that the water is low enough and the thunderstorm risk is low enough that they open the whole narrows to hikers. Go tothe visiters center and check, if it’s open, make reservations, you may have to wait 2-3 days becouse they only allow about 30 people a day to start. It realy is a two day hike, so reserve a campsite mid canyon, get a strong walking stick. (you’ll need it) wear an old pair of tennis shoes and bag everything in plastic. you also are well advised to have the people at the lodge drive you to the starting site. The road is terrible andit would be easy to get lost going there. It will be a walk you will remember, a true western classic

I have been to Zion and to the mouth of the narrows but I need to go back and do the entire thing.

Trekking poles make all the difference.

And I have even travelled up the narrows for quite some distance a few times. But I want to travel the entire distance, camping included.
