    Hiking

    In The Narrows, you hike through the Virgin River. It is a 16-mile hike from Chamberlain's Ranch to The Temple of Sinawava. The River has carved a fantastic gorge in the upper reaches of Zion Canyon. You are walking in the shadow of soaring walls, sandstone grottos, natural springs, and hanging gardens.

    The river is closed to hiking in the springtime due to snowmelt and during and immediately following Flash Flood Warnings, which are common from July through September.

    There are 12 backcountry campsites along the river. To stay there, you have to get a permit from the backcountry office.

    Hiking

    The Narrows are the narrowest part of the Virgin River gorge. Here you can only continue through the river and with the appropriate equipment.
