Permit: no
Distance– 2miles- easy to medium depending on water
Trailhead /Shuttle stop: Temple of Sinawava Bus Station #9 (last stop)
Renting gear
- Zion Outfitter- located at Springdale shuttle visitor center drop off
- MUST do- rent boots and walking pole. Narrows gear reservations-
- only hold reservation until 10am. NOT required (they never run out)
- You will see everyone who didn’t get gear constantly fall and wish they did
- Regular trekking poles don’t work cuz rocks
- Can get gear the day before if you want to hike early before the store opens
- The dry bag can be overkill, not necessary
FYI
- Water levels/current depend on time of year, recent storms or just random
- One year only came to my waist, another came up to my chest
- Can get flash flood warnings- if it starts raining turn back
- Gets super crowded by the afternoon
- Long line for the shuttle after you’re done to get home
THE HIKE
- From shuttle stop- short paved path to water entry- follow the crowd
- Depending on water current=depends visibility of huge rocks in water
- Which is why the water boots and pole are important
- Brief deep end early on- you’ll see a small “waterfall” (more like stream) on the right side
- After a while the views all look the same- no real end viewpoint. Just turn back when you want
