This is the perfect hot weather hike! However it is very comfortable and even more beautiful in the cold months (ask us how!). We will be tackling The Narrows, an amazing trail that takes place a little on land and a lot in the water. We will meet at the Visitors’ Center, just inside the entrance to Zion National Park. We will board the park shuttles for a 30 minute trip at the bottom of the extremely scenic canyons that make up Zion.

At the trailhead we start off with one mile of “dry” path. This is the beautiful, shady but short Riverside Trail that meanders through the Narrows Canyon. It is mostly flat, and mostly concrete, which makes for easy going.

Then when we reach the end of that trail we get into the water for the “wet” portion. We can go as far as 13 miles in the river, though we rarely get more than two. The massive, awesome cliffs will surround you and take your breath away. The canyon walls will close in until they are scarcely 15 feet apart and two thousand feet high!

After that we return to the “dry” trail, board the park shuttle and head back to the Visitors’ Center. $650-$675 (guests are responsible for entry fee to Zion National Park.)

**Note** When the water temperatures in The Narrows get cold guests may wish to rent waterproof coveralls and boots. These can make a significant difference in each persons’ comfort level. The cost for rentals is around $65 per person and are the responsibility of the guest. We recommend Zion Outfitters which is located just outside the pedestrian/bicycle entrance of Zion National Park for rentals. Further details will be emailed after purchase of this tour.

The trails we have planned for your group will take you to dizzying heights (only if you want to), a chance to dip your toes in crystal clear pools with a waterfall, and a relaxing walk up one of the deepest and most beautiful slot canyons in the world while following a picturesque stream. 

We can cover as many as 7 miles (or less if you prefer), at a mild to moderate pace and elevation. You will be amazed at the red, white, pink and yellow cliffs, and the absolute majesty of the 2000-foot-tall Navajo sandstone mountains.

We will board the Park Shuttle and after a short ride we will arrive at the West Rim Trail head and hike up to Scout’s Lookout. If you are not in the mood for a 1000-foot climb, we can do the stunningly beautiful Watchman Trail in its place. The 400-foot elevation change makes for a more ‘friendly’ experience, but with beautiful views as well. Following the first hike, we will make our way to the Emerald Pools Trail head. This hike will take us to a beautiful waterfall with, of course, emerald pools. If the day is too warm for Emerald Pools, we will take the shuttle to the Riverside Trail head and hike into the deepest slot canyon on Earth. It is amazing!

This tour starts at 7:00 AM and is designed for those with a more relaxed state of mind. The hiking trails will only number two, and they are quite mild, though incredibly beautiful. We will loop through the main canyon, followed by the east side with its higher altitude and big horn sheep. We will finish with a leisurely hike on the west side of Zion. The stunning beauty of Zion National Park will remain with you for the rest of your life!

Our first trail will be the Canyon Overlook or a similar trail on the East Side. Then after a few view areas we’ll head for the West Side of Zion, an area that few people ever visit. Places visited will depend on timing.
