Zion National Park Narrows

Discover the wild beauty of Zion National Park Narrows with a GPS Ranger

The most popular hike in Zion National Park, and one of world’s best canyon hikes, is the Zion National Park Narrows. This 16-mile river hike starts at Chamberlain’s Ranch outside Zion National Park and ends in the park at the Temple of Sinawava. The coldness of the river mixed with the shade from the towering walls of this slender canyon makes the Narrows an outstanding hike for a hot summer day.

In Zion National Park Narrows, you will be delighted to find lush vegetation, red slickrock of varying hues, beautiful rock sculptures, waterfalls, and lots of cold water. Rock squirrels scurry about looking for food, and if you are lucky, you will spot a local mule deer near the water. Zion National Park is home to a myriad of fauna, including the Zion snail – unique to Zion National Park and not found anywhere else in the world, as well as canyon tree frogs who like to be both seen and heard. The GPS Ranger can provide you with an abundance of information on the plants and animals within Zion National Park.

There are several hikes that end in the Zion National Park Narrows. Deep Creek is a favorite 23 mile backpacking trip with miles of river hiking and short swims. Mystery Canyon, Kolob Creek, and Imlay Canyon are all technical canyoneering routes, so get ready to climb, rappel and swim your way into Zion National Park Narrows. Orderville Gulch offers the same things as the Narrows, but darker, more narrow and some say, more beautiful.
