Zion N.P. - The Narrows
The Narrows is a portion of the Virgin River, accessible only by walking upstream from the end of the Riverside Walk from Sinawava. Wet suits can be rented in town, and were worth the money. At least rent the boots as they have much better traction over wet rocks than standard trail shoes. Being there in November meant that we didn't have to fight the crowds, but also meant that we didn't get the high sun necessary for the best lighting of the canyon. However, if you are visiting Zion and the water levels permit, this hike is strongly recommended for those so inclined. A tripod is essential, due to the low light level at the bottom of the narrow canyon. Even then take care that the swirling of the water does not induce vibrations up the tripod legs that will blur the image.
