Zion Narrows
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).

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.

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
