Description by the author

This hike takes you from the Temple of Sinawava, via the Riverside Walk to the Narrows of Zion National Park. There are many great things to see in the park, but this hike is definitely unique!



Check the conditions at the Visitors Center of the Park, because this walk is dangerous when floods are expected or when the currents are too strong.You walk almost continuous in the water, so it's not an easy hike, but for sure a great one. A lot of families with children are doing this, so it is not that difficult. Park rangers don't recommend sandals but a shoe which is well closed. Remember you will get wet feet for 3-4 hours.
