under the stars, the river rushing by yes, but be prepared... ;) gorp.away.com Zion National Park Hiking the Narrows Where the Virgin River enters Zion National Park, its waters have carved a chasm 2,000 feet deep into the Markagunt Plateau. The river meanders 16 miles through a water-sculptured gorge of sandstone arches, grottos and soaring fluted walls. The route is the river; there is no maintained trail. River currents can be strong; once you have penetrated the canyon from its upper end it is not easy to turn back. Good planning, proper equipment and physical conditioning are essential for a safe and successful trip. People who hike the Zion Narrows assume a tremendous responsibility. Conditions can change rapidly; your safety depends on your own good judgment, constant attention, and adequate preparation. Your safety is your responsibility. Moderate to excellent physical conditioning is recommended. Although the backcountry's colorful canyons, forested mesas, and captivating deserts appear rugged and resilient, many areas are actually quite fragile and easily damaged. The survival or destruction of these resources, as well as your personal safety, hinge on your own attitude and actions.
