Zion Narrows Private Day Hike
Day Hike Tours
1 Day 5MI / 8KM
Trip Highlights
This is one of Zion National Park‘s most famous and stunning day hikes! Explore the Virgin River and the amazing canyon it carved out of Zion’s towering sandstone walls over millions of years. This hike is almost entirely in water, walking on river rocks, with new and exciting scenery around every bend.
Our tour starts with water gear rentals (included) and a NPS shuttle to the start of our hike at the Temple of Sinawava. Then our Zion Narrows Day Hike takes us up the Riverside Walk trail where we begin a half-day excursion up the river to see some of the best “narrows” sections of the North Fork of the Virgin River. Your day will be filled with the towering walls of Zion, crystal clear spring water, brilliant red sandstone and rocks polished over tens of thousands of years. Lunch and snacks are included.

Is This Trip Right For me?
This hike is mostly level and only requires hiking with an 8-12 pound backpack. The difficulty of this hike is the ruggedness of hiking in a river with moving water, slick river rocks, uneven terrain…etc.
