Hike #46 - The Narrows, Zion National Park, UT

The same day we hiked Angel's Landing (July 15, 2012) Paul and I hiked The Narrows at Zion National Park.  This was my first visit to the park and I fell in love with it.  The Narrows trail is a water hike in The Virgin River.  In some places the water went to our waist.  We had our water shoes and hiking poles to balance as we walked along the slippery rock river bottom.  The water was brown and you could not see how big the rocks/boulders were in front of you so you had to be very careful not to stub your toe or lose your balance. Often there are flash flood warnings so luckily we were there on an afternoon when it did not rain which is common for this time of year. It was a refreshing cool hike for a warm July day.  The canyon is absolutely beautiful with many photo opportunities!
