Zion Narrows

[tanya]

After 3 years of hiking together just about every weekend, and mostly in Zion, you would think we would have done the Zion Narrows before! But we had not.

We had both done parts of it, but never the entire thing. It was fun hearing all Bo's SAR narrows stories. I could not believe the waterfall this one kid jumped off! He got a compound fracture and those poor SAR people had to carry him out.

We started at Chamberlain's Ranch... (which from the looks of it is about to be a gawd awful housing development by Slick Rock. I think that's who bought it anyway?)

The start of the hike, before we got to Deep Creek confluence was actually the most narrow and most photogenic. Then it opened up and got sunny, deeper water and slippery rocks. There were so many people in there. It's going to be like a zoo when the permits open it up to 80 hike thru's a day.



Waterfall where boyscout jumped and broke his leg.

Cool pics. I've never done the Narrows from the top, maybe someday.

Good shots, Tanya. Amazing that you had not done it before. I've only done up past Orderville Creek and back, but then I'm an old man (and you're a young chick).

Yeah.... it just always seems like a tourist filled hike and one to avoid, but it's one everyone should do! I was so impressed. Mostly with the start of the hike! The area after that waterfall... where the boyscout jumped is awesome!

I bet we are actually close in age.


I went quite a ways up from the canyon when I was 20ish.... and have gone to Orderville many times.... did it as an exit for Mystery, Orderville, etc.....

But this is the first time from the top!

I am glad I got to go up there before Slickrock fills it with construction and homes.

Yeah, if 15 years is close.

I have never had this problem!!!! I just went through my photos and can't narrow it down to enough to make an album. I have so many shots I want to use! Dang!

Zion Narrows does rule!

so how many hours to complete?

we did orderville Sun. top to bottom,took about 6 1/2 hrs.

16 miles in the narrows has got to be a long day,then the return for your car--or did you have someone shuttle you?

nice pics as always

We started around 6ish AM and got to our vehicle at the visitors center around 8:15ish PM. Total hike time (photo time ) somewhere around 13 or so hours? Then drove back to Chamberlain TH and arrived to pick up the Rover around 9:30ish! Pretty long day but worth the whole experience!

You have to realize that I took over 1000 photos! It's hard to count your time when you have me and my camera along.

If Bo was alone... he would fly through there! It would have been a short day, or if there is a hike without much scenery we fly... but the Narrows.... that was so photogenic that I was taking photos just about everywhere except from Deep Creek to Big Springs. It was more open there and not as spectacular.
