ZION National Park | The NARROWS Hike

Zion Narrows is one of the best hikes at Zion National Park. In total, the Zion Narrows is a 15-mile stretch where the north fork of the Virgin river carved its way through these massive rocks , leaving behind this incredible slot canyon.
Tyler and I hiked about 4 miles upriver, starting at the Temple of Sinawava, passed the floating rock and Wall Street. Luckily, we were able to get the shuttle to Zion Narrows at 7am, so we beat the crowds.
Due to the fact that Zion Narrows is one of the best hikes at Zion National Park, it gets very busy. On our way back down river, tons of people were just getting in. Thankfully, most people who visit the narrows only trek up about a mile or less.

I'm 66 yrs. old and your video inspired me to walk the Narrows. I took your advice to get to the Park early, I rented the walking shoes and stick, and your Italian "It's worth it " got me to the split and beyond to Wall Street. I had no cell, no watch, I was unplugged from the world. Zion is magical. Thank you for your videos.

I am impressed that you did this hike in Feb without a wet suit... my husband and I have been doing the Narrows and all of Zion since 1986 we have never and I mean never seen a deer in the Narrows. I don't think you know how lucky you are. My jaw dropped watching this video and seeing that beautiful Buck walking in the Narrows. The spot you stopped at is always our destination. we usually stop on top of that knoll and have a picnic and a happy hour. before heading back down. Zion is our peace. so glad you got to enjoy this special place. Please go back in the future and spend more than a few days. Trust me it is worth it. I wish I could post photos here to show you the true beauty of Zion.

The Narrows trail is so beautiful. Once you step into the river, it’s freezing but you get use to it... must wear water shoes along with hiking sticks. We were there 5 years ago, and my youngest was only 5 years old & such a trooper to walk through the narrows

[kellyoshea]

Gareth thx for taking those of us who are disabled along with you. I enjoyed the beauty and majesty of creation! That crystal clear water was gorgeous and I could almost feel the freezing water on my toes.

this place was beautiful. I did angels landing and narrows as my first ever hike and national park. It was such an experience. I was so under prepared and was scared but I made it to the very top and the very end of the narrows.

[cynthialiberatore]

I love that hike. My husband and I did it starting from the other side when you could do that. We even camped out in the narrows for 1 night. What a great time that was.

[ryanparham]

I did the full 16 mile top-down hike from Chamberlain Ranch about a year and a half ago, as a two day overnight. One of the most amazing experiences of my life, amazingly beautiful, and so much different at the top. Zion is an incredible place!

For my 68th birthday on March 27th 2021 my daughter asked me what I wanted to do. Hike The Narrows! I hadn't done it in a couple of years and I had never done the hike this early in the year. It was 37 degrees when we left the hotel that morning. We rented the waterproof overalls, boots and socks I am so glad landed on your video to prepare. So off we went! We had a blast! I cannot wait to go again

I visited my friend years back who relocated to Utah from California for her job and we hiked this...I remember saying Wow a million times over at all of Zion. We were warned by someone who was coming out of the narrows to watch our time because it was going to get dark soon so we didn’t walk as far in to the narrows that you did so I’m glad to see what the end looked like from your vlog..thanks

[fanofcanes]

Besides Zion being one of the most beautiful of our national parks, visiting the Narrow is a much see. I've been to Zion twice and can't understand only one giving your video a thumbs down . Thanks for sharing your time with us in the Narrows, going through the water and looking up hearing the rushing water is something i will never forget...again thanks and stay safe

[delfincamaclang]

This is another great adventure that a 70-yr old will experience vicariously through you. I think the culinary adventures will now be my go. Thank you and looking forward to the next one. Stay safe and healthy.

I visited over Labor Day weekend and it was ridiculous how crowded it was, but beautiful never the less. I would take the colder water over the crowds.

[Jimmymw]

Love that place, best time to do it early morning to avoid crowds, you can actually enjoy the views and take pictures without being interrupted

[_perla]

My boyfriend and I will be going again this May for our anniversary, I'm stoked to do the Narrows & Angels Landing this time! I can't wait ☺💕

[mojojim]

What is even more amazing to me than the sights of the canyon is the skill Gareth uses in setting up the shots, so that he can take us along and make it seem that we are there with him.
And, as usual, many thanks for including the restaurant scene. That food looks delicious.
Tasting food always leaves you looking astounded. LOL
Sorry I'm so terribly late.

[katmao]

Wish i met someone that loves hiking as much as i do. hopefully God puts a man in my life that loves hiking 😍😍😍😍

[cybird]

Zion is in my plans for my road trip and The Narrows were a possible part of the trip. Now it's a definite step in my journey.

[kaitlinnelson]

Wowow!!! Incredible video. Too cool how you saw your friend from college there. So many magical moments on film, thanks for sharing.

[michaelabraham]

Me and my wife were just at zion last week. We did some of the narrows. Wish we did more of it. Next time. The whole trip we had our mouths dropping at the shear beautiful awesomeness.

[traggazzo]

Zion, , a place that I love to go back again and again...Narrow and Angel's landing are challenging.
