Zion narrows

I have a permit for the narrows top down for may 22, do you think it will actually be open then

Well...its flow is pretty high now...how long will the snowpack there sustain that? Hard sayin'.

I look at a comparable season with similar snowpack...say, the spring of 2011. Folks were kayaking the narrows in June. Flow was big through May.

I'm going to guess...won't be open for through hiking by 22 May.

Looking at the USGS gage data, looks like last year it didn't open until later May.

And it snowing on the mountain above it again yesterday, today and saturday. The Snotel reading at Midway valley was still reading 60" of snow as of yesterday. There is a lot of water up high still
