Zion: The Narrows

We'd been talking a lot about going up The Narrows, which is, as the name implies, a narrow passage of river which is supposedly quite beautiful. However, we'd probably need wetsuits or something similar, at the very least some proper shoes. Additionally, none of us really had the necessary physical stamina to do something like this on such short notice. But we agreed that we would at the very least walk up from the last bus stop to the entrance of the Narrows.

Multicolored rocks bear witness to the eroding effect of water.


The path winds along the right hand side of the Virgin river for about a mile.




It then stops abruptly and you need to get your feet - at the very least - wet to proceed several miles upstream. One day... one day...


The squirrels in this part of the park are unbelievably cheeky and sadly unafraid of humans. I watched several almost get trampled in the frenzy to get some goodies off of stupid tourists.


This pic almost looks like it's a painting.
