Went here 2 years ago with my brother and my dad. We did a roadtrip across western America. THIS is the highlight of our trip. I reccomend EVERYBODY to go here before you leave this world. The video dosent do justice to the incredible adventure it truly was.
I hiked the narrows with my older brother and dad when I was 11 back in 2012. My brother passed away a year later but that day is one I will never forget as long as I live. Truly the best day of my life. Hope to go back with my dad again some day.
I know exactly how you feel. I've hiked the narrows numerous times, but last August I was able to take my dad (whose health was failing) a short distance into the Narrows. He passed away a few weeks ago. The memories that were made that day will forever bless my life. Thank you for sharing your experience! Wild Spaces are more than pretty vistas, or natural curiosities. Millions of people have forged precious connections with each other and the natural world in these spectacular wonderlands. The Narrows, like Zion is a landscape of memories for me. For that reason I wan't it respected and preserved forever.
I’m hiking this tomorrow, i was getting a little scared, people make a really big deal about the current but this helped me see that it’s nothing to worry about!!
Best of luck! Make sure to check flow rate and weather with the park service. Water level changes, and it's not a good idea to enter the narrows if there's a significant chance of flooding. The park service keeps close tabs on it. Have fun! Be safe. And Leave No Trace.
We very much agree. Anyone who is physically and financially able, AND can visit responsibility should attempt at least some portion of the Narrows at some point in their life. This is a special trail.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! We hope you'll consider subscribing if you haven't already. We've got some great videos in production. Best of luck! The Zion Narrows are one of a kind. Remember to be safe and leave no trace.
+Hike with Mike It's hard not to love Zion. It remains on our bucket list even though we've been there many times. Thanks for watching Mike, always great to hear from you.
one of the most beautiful narrows videos I have seen. The way the walls of the narrows was glowing that golden color at some point (from a hint of light), was just beautiful! What time of day was that?
So glad you liked it! We started hiking early, but thanks to the winding nature of the Narrows various sections are illuminated at different times of the day. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!!!
When and more specific facts about length would b lovely. Also what footwear and time of year. Bet it’s much higher sometimes it’s a great video though
Thanks! The whole length is roughly 15 miles from top to bottom. You'll need a permit for that route. Without a permit, the hike can be up to 10 miles. 5 miles up, 5 miles down. Conditions vary by the day and the season. We recorded this footage in July, but conditions change. Make sure to check with the park service regarding conditions including temperature, flow rate and weather. Any closed toe durable shoe will do. Ankle support is recommended. Just make sure you're ok getting wet. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching and commenting!!!
We went in mid July. The earlier you can start the better. Zion is so popular now, the only way to beat the crowds is by getting started before everyone else. Best of luck on your hike! The Narrows are spectacular. Remember to be safe and Leave No Trace.
We totally agree. There's no place like the Zion Narrows and, yes, the first mile or so can be very, very crowded. Probably a correlation :) Thanks so much for watching and commenting!!! We hope you also consider subscribing. There's lots of good stuff still to come.
Beautiful footage, thank you! Will be visiting in June and am curious, how far did you hike in? We are planning just a day trip - 8 to 10 miles total. Will we see what's captured here?
We traveled roughly 5 miles up from Temple of Sinawava, 10ish miles (the maximum distance allowed without a permit). Sounds like you’ll be traveling a similar distance so this is a good representation of what you’ll see. June should be beautiful. The water can still be quite cold and swift. It’s always best to check with the Park Service before entering the river. Also, please Leave No Trace. This is an astoundingly popular trail. Visitor should take ever precaution to minimize their impact. Best wishes! Thanks for watching and commenting!!!!
Great video! If you decide to do the top-bottom day hike (permit required), do you park at The Temple of Sinawava and shuttle to Chamberlain Ranch to begin?
Thanks!!! Hope you'll check out our other videos. We'd suggest asking the park if you can park your car at the visitor center. Then shuttle to Chamberlain Ranch, unless you begin your hike before the shuttle system is running. Private cars are prohibited past the Mount Carmel junction during the busy season, from mid-late March to October or November meaning you won't be able to park at Temple of Sinawava during those months. Once you've completed the hike, take the shuttle from Temple of Sinawava back to the visitor center and your car. Hope that's helpful!
It depends. If you hike the full length of the Narrows it's about 15 miles and takes all day. If you hike from Temple of Sinawava on the southern end, you are only permitted to go as far as big spring roughy 5 miles from Temple of Sinawava (ten miles total). But as an out and back hike you can turn around at any time making it easy to time you hike. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!
Permits are required if hiking “from the top, down” or from Chamberlain Ranch to Temple of Sinawava. Or if hiking past Big Spring (5 miles north of Temple of Sinawava). Other than that no permit is required. Hope that is helpful! Remember to pack out everything you take in (human waste included), Leave No Trace, and check weather and flood conditions with he park service before entering the Narrrows.
This video was shot in mid July. There are a number of good times to hike the Narrows. Summer can be nice, but is also more prone to flooding than the other months. We've personally never hiked the Narrows in September, but we've heard that generally speaking the water level is lower and the crowds smaller. Smaller crowds are as good of a reason as any to try hiking the Narrows in Fall. Whenever you do hike the Narrows, make sure to contact the national park service in advance and check both the flow rate and flash flood advisory. Also make sure to check the water temperature, it can get cold in the Narrows. Have fun, be safe and Leave No Trace. Thanks for watching and commenting!!!
That's what scares me: Flashflood potential...! But The Narrows looks beautiful and I would love to come back to zion and do that trail. I did 4 other ones and those were beautiful too.
Zion is one of our favorite Wild Spaces. Flash floods are always a possibility, but there's a lot you can do to keep yourself safe. If you check with the information desk in the visitor center they can inform you of any storm or flood advisories. Other than that stay aware of floating debris, clouds overhead or a sudden change of clarity of the water. Also make sure to check doppler radar and beware of potential storm systems to the north. For the most part the Narrows are perfectly safe if you prepare. If weather conditions suggest a higher probability of flash floods, then as you've discovered there are other beautiful trails to enjoy. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!!!
This footage was captured in mid July. Be aware that the summers is monsoon season. Always check with the park service regarding weather conf before entering the narrows. Thanks for watching and commenting! We hope you’ll consider subscribing if you haven’t already.
+Exovitae Thanks for the feedback. We actually have a small steady cam unit, but we struggled at times to get the steady shots we had hoped for. Feel free to offer any other suggestions on how we might improve our content.
Thanks! We used two cameras. A go pro hero 3+ black and a canon sx40 hs. We have a small steady rig for the go pro and a tripod for the canon. It's a fair bit to carry, but it gets the job done. As far as keeping them dry, we just watch our step and do our best to keep them clear of water. Hope that is helpful. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!!!
Zion has hikes for pretty much everybody. There are the more demanding trails like observation point, the full Zion Narrows and so on, but there also easy trails like the riverside walk and Pa‘rus Trail. We’d suggest spending some time on Zion’s official website looking at the various trails and determine what would be best for you.
It's called the Zion Narrows. The trailhead begins at the Temple of Sinawava shuttle stop in Zion Canyon. The first mile is paved and is called the Riverside Walk before entering the Narrows. Hope you have fun. Stay safe and Leave No Trace. Thanks for watching and commenting!!!
Without a permit, hikers are permitted 5 miles up (10 miles out and back) the Narrows until Big Spring. Do not travel further without permit. We were on the trail for several hours. Hope that answers your question.
Great video! Is there a single trail to the Angels Landing as well as The Narrows? Where is the closes spot to park the car to start the hike? Thank you!
There are technically multiple access points for both Angels Landing and the Narrows, but they're more demanding and/or can also come with more red tape. Angels Landing is accessible via the West Rim Trail (much longer) as well as the Grotto in Zion Canyon (The most popular route). The Narrows can be accessed via Chamberlin Ranch (requires a permit and additional transportation planning) on the northeast side of the park or via the Riverside walk near the Temple of Sinawava. You can also access the Narrows using a number of canyoneering routes, but these require canyoneering skills and climbing equipment. Hope hat helps.
It's always best to call the information desk at the Zion National Park visitor center for real time flow rate and safety information. www.nps.gov/zion/planyourvisit/thenarrows.htm Hope you make it! Remember to leave not trace, and thanks for watching!
heloo, can i use your video on my TV Program channel? i am a one of the creative team at KUY GTV and of course your channel youtube's name will published too i'm waiting for your feedback, thank you..

Very much so.
Going there next week and I can hardly wait! Thanks for this video.

Easily one of the best hikes in the country, especially on a hot day when the water is so refreshing. Great video!
We couldn't agree more!!! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!!!
Must-do hike in a lifetime! In such a beautiful place also 🏞
We very much agree. Anyone who is physically and financially able, AND can visit responsibility should attempt at least some portion of the Narrows at some point in their life.

+Hike with Mike It's hard not to love Zion. It remains on our bucket list even though we've been there many times. Thanks for watching Mike, always great to hear from you.
Nice video. Brings back memories. I wish cameras could really capture the majesty of this canyon, but they never will :)
+Mormon Family So true. Videos are nice, but they can't compare to actually being there. Thanks so much for watching!
going back in October hopefully we will do this hike. great video
Thanks for watching! Enjoy Zion in October, It's a great time to visit!
Wonderful video. I love the music, can anyone tell me the name of the song.
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
As for the song, it was years ago when we selected it. We unfortunately don't remember the name. Sorry.
this is some amazing video work thanks so much. 2 months i get to see it myself hoping the water isnt too high
+potatothorn Good Luck!
Was there last july and simply amazing place..would love to do that hike again.
Beautiful
Thanks!
Beautiful edit
Thank you!
What time of year was this video shot? Thanks.
Mid July. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching and commenting!!!

We shot in in Mid-July.
Heading there in May. I can not wait.
Awesome! We had planned to return in June, but it looks like we'll have to postpone. Best of luck on you trip! Please remember to Leave No Trace.
Absolutely! Thanks for the advice and the video. I will need all the pre-trip planning help I can get....

Hiked the Narrows last week. This is a once in a lifetime hike, but it was very crowded. As you go further and further upstream, the crowds thin out.
