The Narrows | Zion National Park | A Beginner's Guide

Zion National Park - Zion Narrows! The Narrows at Zion National Park has been one of my all-time favorite hikes. Meander up the pristine Virgin River surrounded by large narrow stone walls in this beautiful slot canyon. Start at the Temple of Sinawava (end of the "Scenic Drive"), hike up the Riverside Walk Trail, and then enter the water about a mile later. Go upstream as far as you want and return the same way. No permits are necessary for this hike at Zion National Park.
NOTE: As of 7/20, the Park Shuttles have resumed running at limited capacity by reservation only.
HEED THIS FOR THE NARROWS!
*The biggest danger is flooding in the narrows. By no means enter the canyon against the advice of a Park Ranger. Avoid if rain is in the forecast.
*A walking stick or wooden pole is nearly essential for balance.
*We used normal gym shoes, but many rent special boots for warmth, traction, and stability. The water can get really cold!
*Sufficient water.
*Dry bags if desired.
*A wetsuit if hiking in the off-season.
*Expect large crowds - if want you fewer people, start early or visit in the offseason.

Thank you! Still learning a lot along the way!

[@ccchhhrrriiisss100]

Those views are spectacular! Thank you for this amazing video. Yet again, your video has persuaded me to add yet another spot onto my list of must-visit parks!

[@AmericasParks]

Right on, Chris! This hike is bucket list for any fan of the Parks. Enjoy your week!

[@NickandRachel]

Man, I can't wait to go there! So much different than what we are used to here. Looks like you guys had an awesome time! Glad to see y'all are doing good! Thanks for sharing!

[@AmericasParks]

Appreciate that! One of the best trails in one of the best NP's!

[@MarkH163]

Beautiful and amazing footage! Wonderful seeing you two again on your Americas Parks explorations! Really good music, too! Thank you, Randy!

[@AmericasParks]

Really appreciate that, Mark!

[@kuuleikeliiholokai9989]

Watching and listening to this made me so emotional. 💕

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks for sharing your sweet heart!

[@chrissanfino761]

Another great video Randy. This is a hike I have wanted to do for a long time. Such splendor and majesty. Glad you could make it. We love the slot canyons of the southwest. Blessings 🙏

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks, Chris! Hope you can get out there. Nothing like Southern Utah!

[@TheMickeyShuffle]

What an awesome quick trip through the Narrows. All your videos are fabulous and fun to watch! I can't wait to see more!

[@AmericasParks]

Appreciate you, Mickey! Thanks for your note earlier!

[@Vic-cn4fe]

This video was put together really well. You guys did a good job capturing the adventure. Im definitely subscribing.

[@AmericasParks]

Really appreciate that, Vic! Have a super day!

[@keenarcayan5798]

My friend thanks for posting! I always enjoyed all your post. I remember my last hiked at the narrows was 1996 when I used to lived in St. George, UT. Was a great experienced. God Bless You and Your Family.

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks so much, Keen! You lived in a great area! Have a blessed week!

[@DestinationEarth]

What a sweet looking hike! Amazing that you had to get there that early to enjoy it, but I am glad that paid off! Looks like you had a stunning day there to enjoy it all!

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks, Josh! It was a memorable one!

[@bobross9623]

Ah yes! Another great Utah trip. Glad to see you're still getting out there! I'm still doing the Del Water Gap NRA thing & loving it. Hopefully back to the southwest somewhere this fall. Hope you had a nice 4th of July.

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks, Bob! The fall is a wonderful time to visit that area. Happy to be back on the road, but it was an action-packed 9-day trip with my wife. Still recovering! Enjoy the GAP!

[@sarabrown9745]

This was absolutely gorgeous. I have been blessed to do some traveling in my lifetime and have seen some spectacular sites. Some family members have been through Utah, and I believe Zion Natl Park, as well. This is definitely a bucket list trip! Absolutely stunning! I'm obsessed with America's National Parks! Thank you so much for showing us the beauty of our country in your videos. I'm so glad you all get to witness and experience such amazing scenery and adventures!

[@AmericasParks]

That was really encouraging to read, Sara! Thanks and continued blessing to you!

[@MichaelRose7]

What an amazing hike there is so much that Zion offers!

[@AmericasParks]

So true! Never get tired of visiting this one!

[@potatothorn]

so much fun!! we went a few years ago, wonderful experience. Thanks for this super sharp video really nice to see it this way thanks for posting

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks, Thorn! Glad to hear you guys have experienced this one! So classic!

[@73Twilightzone]

I'm so happy you're done this in recent time. You're helped me decide to go there this weekend. Thank you Brother.

[@AmericasParks]

That's wonderful to hear, Larry! Be sure to check the park shuttles for reservations. Have a great time, brother!

[@brendanlynch888]

Love the video! Going to Utah Zion in early September. Can’t wait

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks and have a great time!

[@jameshouse1268]

Thanks for the video, Randy...and congratulations to Julie! So happy she could take, and enjoy, this epic hike with you. We had to cancel our reservations to Zion this Spring, but will reschedule at another time. So glad to see this video and always look forward to the next one! Take care and stay healthy.

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks so much, James! Sorry to hear about your cancellation. We lost 2 trips too, but added this one last minute.

[@ijblessjourney]

Brother that’s amazing we can’t wait to get out. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

[@AmericasParks]

Wonderful, hope it works for you guys! Thank you!

[@stevemoore3951]

Absolutely STUNNING !!

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks for watching, Steve!

[@ActiveTravelWestUSA]

A must do hike in this extreme heat! Get out of Vegas and go cool off! Great video! Thanks!

[@AmericasParks]

Right on! We tried a short hike in Vegas the day we arrived - RR Trail. Brutal!

[@ramiromontoya9357]

Such beauty, thank you for sharing!! On my Bucket List.

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks, Ramiro! Hope it works out for you!

[@SunsetSeekers]

Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing! This place has been on our wish list for quite a while now. One day.....

[@AmericasParks]

Cool - hope you can make it out there! :)

[@ticketfortwo92]

Love the low angle shots and sounds of the river. Just got back from there! Such a special place!

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks so much! Neat to hear you've been out there. Such a special place!

[@kawabus]

Couldn't come at a better time. Planning a trip for next week. Thank you!

[@AmericasParks]

Sweet, Justin! The shuttles are up and running again. Be sure you make reservations. Enjoy!

[@maddieocarroll6268]

What a convenient time for posting this video!!! I am in Utah right now camping right by Zion and I am hiking the Narrows in the morning!!! I am so excited!!!

[@AmericasParks]

So cool, Maddie! Have a wonderful hike - you'll remember it forever!

[@patrickscully4171]

Beautifully made. Such talent and lovely music score too. What a delightful looking place. Thanks.

[@AmericasParks]

Really appreciate that, Patrick!

[@spartan-uo6rl]

It's my dream to one day visit zion, beautiful video thank you

[@AmericasParks]

Thank you and hope you'll be about to get out there!

[@christinestange4813]

Incredibly beautiful view of rock formations! Amazing how many people were hiking the narrows! Neat that you are becoming a famous KZbin comtributer 🙂👍 Loved the editing with under water shots interspersed ....and the choice of music! 🎶 Stay safe and well 😷✌️

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks for sharing your keen observations, Christine!

[@DC-zk1wu]

Always enjoy seeing new content from you Randy. Glad to see that you made it back out this way.

[@AmericasParks]

Thank you very much, Derek!

[@DC-zk1wu]

Americas Parks watching your videos inspired me to buy an annual pass, we are now in the middle of our first trip to Yellowstone

[@ericivancantu]

Amazing truly in love! Keep up the great work and stay safe 🤟🏽

[@AmericasParks]

Thank you, Eric! You too!

[@jennazhang4927]

My friend and I are soooo excited to check out Zion next week! Thanks for showing us this amazing trail ❤

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks! Hope you have a great time!

[@glennaddison952]

What an amazing location! Really enjoyed your creativity in the edit!

[@AmericasParks]

Appreciate that!

[@paulschmucker375]

Wow we missed you by one week! We hiked this on June 22 - it was our first time and we absolutely loved it! Thanks for your videos - we always enjoy them

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks so much, Paul! Would have been nice to meet you!

[@RupeeNL]

Just stumbled upon your channel in the Recommended section. I love your videos and immediately subscribed! I've never been to the States, but seeing videos like this skyrockets a USA West Coast Roadtrip to the Top 3 of my go-to travel list!

[@AmericasParks]

Nice to hear, Ruud! The Western US (especially S. Utah) is incredible!

[@ericp8428]

Thank you for the post. Brought back great memories from a couple years back. Do recommend renting water shoes and a walking shoes worked crazy well in the water. Glad you made it in having to travel that early but so worth it.

[@AmericasParks]

Wonderful to hear, Eric! Clearly among my most memorable hikes too.

[@stanmakowski1985]

Another great video Randy, my wife and I made a visit to Zion in November of 2018 and did Angles Landing and the Narrows. I was truly a great time and the Narrows was my favorite. Walking in the water and seeing the canyon wall was truly amazing. We are planning another trip their this fall with a couple days at Bryce as we missed it on our last visit. Keep up the great videos.

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks, Stan! We skipped Bryce this trip, but did hit "Red Rocks" in Dixie NF (right next door to Bryce). Maybe a tad less impressive, but virtually no people. Shot some nice video I'll get up one of these days.

[@boundlessintrepiddiscovery7242]

I like the way you put together this video! Information filled story telling!

[@AmericasParks]

Thank you very much!

[@JT-br9ub]

Let me start by saying your videos are inspiring and informative. I live in PA. My family and I did Kinzua Bridge state park in June and just returned from Zion National Park and Grand Canyon National Park. Both are absolutely stunning!! No words can describe how majestic and beautiful Zion and the Grand Canyon are. I also enjoyed the Schuylkill River trail video. I grew up in Schuylkill County, PA and always take family to the pioneer coal tunnel when they visit from out west. Again Thanks for making the videos and God Bless. Hopefully I will see you on a trail someday!!

[@AmericasParks]

Really appreciate your kind and encouraging words, John! Happy to hear you and your family are making great memories. We are from NJ and really enjoy our time in beautiful PA. God bless!

[@kerrineilson597]

Oh I love the Narrows! I did the complete overnight hike back in high school. Such a great experience!

[@AmericasParks]

Oh Kerri, have that one on the bucket list. Clearly a memorable experience for you!

[@west.coast.hiking]

This is the most memorable hike I've done. Definitely a unique hike with beautiful scenery.

[@AmericasParks]

Glad to hear you've experienced it!

[@cristiansoutside]

I’ve always wanted to do this hike! Your video is very informative and amazing 👏 felt like I was there. Thanks!!

[@AmericasParks]

Appreciate that, Cristian!

[@Theninjaonthemountains]

great video!!! I hiked it top/down last year beautiful place

[@AmericasParks]

Awesome! Dying to do that hike!

[@jymnmeier3527]

So glad you were able to venture out during this time and with Julie as well :) The Narrows look so amazing. Can't wait to see what other adventures you had on this particular trip and hope the transition back to New Jersey is smooth with the new rules the Governor has implemented. Much love and health to you all

[@AmericasParks]

Appreciate that, Jymn! So thankful for the window we had to squeeze in this trip. It was one of those times we really needed the break. Have a super week, my friend!

[@candyemmons1449]

Came to learn about the Narrows hike, but loved how you captured this moment in history.

[@AmericasParks]

Thank you very much for your kind and encouraging words!

[@005connect9]

I’ll be here on Sunday! Looking forward to a nice peaceful solo day hike!

[@AmericasParks]

Sweet! The scenery was so pure, the activities fun and the water relatively warm. Have a super time!

[@jbsinyard]

Always enjoy watching your videos!

[@AmericasParks]

Thank you very much! Means a lot to me!

[@KalebJackson]

Wow! What a nice hike huh? I've never been to Utah but I'm glad that I get to join this journey on this National Park with you guys lol.

[@AmericasParks]

Hey, Kaleb! Hope all is well with you! Thanks and keep vlogging!

[@scoobydew55]

Great editing! I love the views; I'm not quite brave enough for Angel's Landing, but the Narrows look like the perfect hike. I even have one of my sons convinced. Hoping to make a trip to Utah eventually and cross it off my list. Happy travels!

[@AmericasParks]

Nice, Kellie! Hope it works for you guys! The Narrows is truly a classic hike!

[@maartenvz]

Swap angels landing with observation point. And make sure to take along Canyon overlook trail as IT only takes an hour and is amazing

[@nicolew101]

Thank You for the video this hike is on my bucket list!

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks, Nicole! Highly recommended!

[@nathaninniger910]

Hi! This is the first time I've commented on one of your videos. I watch a different one every day while I'm eating lunch. I just went out to Utah for the second time three weeks ago. We woke up at 4:30 and didn't quite make it to the Sinawava parking lot and had to walk an extra mile both ways. It was worth it though. Having been to Zion before, I thought it wouldn't seem quite as amazing as it did the first time. Boy was I wrong, this hike is truly spectacular and showcases God's marvelous creation. Watching your videos has been an inspiration for me.

[@AmericasParks]

Hey Nathan, loved reading the comment, brother! Happy to hear you made it out to the narrows. Hottest ticket in town! An extra mile both ways isn't too bad. Heard folks are now walking the entire scenic trail! God bless you and grateful to know how much you are enjoying the videos!

[@KelvinDephasdin]

Even with all those people, it's still gorgeous thank you for sharing

[@AmericasParks]

Yes! And thankfully, the people were "light" due to the shuttles not running.

[@anthonylabarbera3656]

That’s so amazing one day I want to visit the Midwest and all of the cool national parks

[@AmericasParks]

Cool, Tony! Tough to bet the National Parks in southern Utah!

[@evertthart8758]

It's beautifull! We have done this same hike in august 2018 and it was one of the most beautifull hikes we did in the USA.

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks for commenting, Evert! Agree!

[@juliesmith444]

It was such a great hike. So much beauty. What a wonderful hiking partner I have!

[@jymnmeier3527]

Always great seeing you on the adventures Julie :)

[@AmericasParks]

What a memorable one!

[@sanchayansarkar2953]

The best channel for making me motivated for visiting national parks. Last year, i visited 15 of them and many of them were influenced by this channel.

[@AmericasParks]

Really appreciate those words! All the best to you in your travels!

[@galiyo6472]

HERMOSO LUGAR,GRACIAS POR MOSTRARNOS ESTE LUGAR TAN BELLO

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks for watching and the comment!

[@johneason6540]

Yep, I will do this! I was there April 2019, after 3 days of thunderstorms, the water was running 20 ft deep then. Angel's landing was open, but several trails closed due to flooding or wash outside. Love seeing the video, so now I know what I missed. Thanks

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks and hope it works out for you, John!

[@nadaj3500]

This was the best hike my daughter and I have done. It was for her 14th bday. Great memories!!

[@AmericasParks]

Wonderful to hear the video helped rekindle some fine memories!

[@donaldhughes6146]

This really helped as we will be headed that way in the next week or so. I knew that we would probably need to get to a parking space early, but I didn't realize it would have to be 2:13 am early. Thank you for the information!

[@AmericasParks]

Enjoy your trip, Donald! I understand the Park Shuttles are up and running again. Be sure to make reservations. Not sure if they are permitting cars on the scenic drive. Be sure to look into this before you arrive. There might also be private shuttle options too.

[@zzzzsxszzzz]

How wonderful is it !!

[@AmericasParks]

That was a great hike.

[@Mikey-Likes-It_101]

Randy, I am so thankful that you posted this video of the Narrows, because while I could’ve done this hike 10 years ago it’s not something I will be able to do now. As I always say, your videos are so wonderful as you make us feel like we are with you on this hike. Thanks to Julie to for her perspective on what it is like, and I’m not surprised as crowded as that place gets that 4 people recognized you! WONDERFUL VIDEO, THANK YOU, . . . Mike

[@AmericasParks]

What a memorable day during covid - getting in line durning the wee hours of the morning! Love that hike!

[@Mikey-Likes-It_101]

@@AmericasParks Randy, You are very much on top of how to get in! The only park we have lined up to get in early was at Arches . . . and the only place we went at 03:00 in the morning was when we figured out that was the best way to hike to the ocean entry of lava at Hawaii Volcanoes (after many previous visits with poor results). The wind in the morning typically is from the west, and after sunset, it reverses, making the hike back after dark hazardous. So, we hiked in from the end of Chain of Craters road to see the lava at sunrise (and got some amazing photos, when the lava was still glowing red for the camera). Does that mean I am in you club of early risers? Ha!

[@lynasalas1096]

Loved this video thank you. Went to Zion a couple weeks ago to hike the narrows but never got in. We where too late. But this was great to watch.

[@AmericasParks]

Sorry to hear you couldn't get in, Lyna! Trust you still had a great time!

[@IAmThatOneLevi]

Definitely on my bucket list! Hope everyone in the family has been staying healthy and safe!

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks, Hunter and the same to you! Really a hike to pursue!

[@lizzycrochetpatterns2023]

What a wonderful place!! ♥️

[@AmericasParks]

Right on! In my opinion, one of the best National Park hikes!

[@brucecosgrove3524]

Did the Narrows 4 times. Glad it was many years ago before the massive crowds they have now. Nice video.

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks, Bruce! Good taste... this is one of the best NP hikes!

[@a.vaz_letra569]

Maaaaaaaan I can’t wait to go !!!! Fire video 👍

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks so much! Hope you have a great experience in the Narrows!

[@xplorefurther]

I have never seen so many hikers at the Narrows. Most usually stopped before entering the creek. I missed hiking there. Thanks for making this video.

[@AmericasParks]

Crowds have gotten bad. Really thankful for your kind words!

[@ATJHTRAVELS]

Always wanted to go here that was absolutely spectacular thank you for sharing sledgehammer that like button stay awesome safe n blessed

[@AmericasParks]

Appreciate that, guys! One of my all-time favorite hikes!

[@BluemoonTraveler]

Very nice place and beautiful scenery. Thanks for sharing my dear friend. Your video is so great always. Full view and Big like 781. I wish you have a happy time...👍👍

[@AmericasParks]

Thank you very much! Hope you have a fantastic weekend!

[@josephbradshaw3294]

This was the video I was looking for👍

[@AmericasParks]

Wonderful to hear, Joseph! Thank you!

[@beach3girl459]

As truly gorgeous as it is, there is nothing I would wait in that line for. Just too rough and "people-y" for me! So glad you shared your experiences.

[@AmericasParks]

No problem and that's what so special about the Parks. Nice diversity for a variety of tastes. Personally, with the Park shuttles not running, I thought there would be far less folks on the trail. Have a great week!

[@hankbern9847]

Hey Randy and Julie....nice to see you guys out and about again....ZION Narrows is awesome walking in the River...We did it 2 years ago with six Families and 19 little ones!!!We didn't go as far as you two did, so enjoyed your video...Looks like a lot more people than 80 cars can unload!!!!Was a real pain waiting for the shuttle for 1.5 hours plus at each stop, so you were lucky it wasn't running...We were supposed to go to Glacier N.P and Yellowstone during July with a lot of people, but all was cancelled!!!May be next year!!!All to best to you and Wifey.....Hank and Pam from South Texas!!!!

[@AmericasParks]

Hi Hank and Pam! Hope you guys are doing well and sorry to hear about your trip cancellation. I'm sure you have many great memories from that trip from 2 years ago - 6 families with 19 kids, wow! Yes, I was expecting fewer people, but many came in on private shuttles. Take care!

[@naners54]

Thank you so much for sharing! The water was too high when I went and I wasn't able to venture into the narrows. It's interesting to see what June 2020 visits are like. Duly noted on the incredibly early wake up call! God Bless you and your family : )

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks and God bless, my friend! Sorry about your experience - that happens often. In my 5 attempts in the Narrows, I was turned away twice.

[@yvonnejohnston9946]

My absolute favorite hike, in my favorite National Park!

[@AmericasParks]

Good taste, Yvonne!

[@elyivy0204]

Amazing place, been there once and planning in going back some day

[@AmericasParks]

Great to hear about your experience!

[@HintonTheTrail]

Just stumbled upon your channel and this video. We’re planning on Zion in November so it was great to get this info. We’re full time travelers and make visiting the National Parks a priority, it’s so cool to find your content is like ours in that sense. Stay healthy and safe travels! -Chris & Suzannah

[@AmericasParks]

Wonderful to hear! Nothing like the US National Parks! Enjoy your trip to Utah and be safe out there on the roads!

[@wombat3455]

Joyous; I must admit when I went to Zion ten years ago was spellbound by the views, nothing like it in England!

[@AmericasParks]

Nice to hear you have visited Zion! One of America's finest!

[@mercedesurias8670]

I am doing this hike on Thursday, October 7th and I am thrilled to pieces!

[@AmericasParks]

Good for you, Mercedes! Hope you have a fantastic time. Of all my NP hikes, this one is in the top 3.

[@suelittle1561]

Some day I am going to get to do this hike. Was supposed to do it this year, but thanks to Covid our plans were changed for us. Beautiful scenery. Excellent video.

[@AmericasParks]

So worth it, Sue! Sure do hope you'll be able to experience this one!

[@beaugonzales5171]

Damn man, look at you go. 23k subs, ive been here for like 4 years and you just keep getting better and more subscribers. Keep it up man. The rate the channel is growing is crazy. Hope to see you sometime.

[@AmericasParks]

Appreciate the warm encouragement, Beau! Wonderful to meet so many great folks like you through this crazy adventure - perhaps one day on the trails.

[@Debra113]

Another excellent video! 😊 I think I'm on an America's Parks binge! 😂

[@AmericasParks]

Glad to hear!

[@TheMountainMatt]

Sooooooo glad I hiked Zion years ago before it got really busy and the COVID situation. Looks like you got some decent water clarity also. Kolob Canyon is also amazing and way less people.

[@AmericasParks]

Kolob is on the radar for me. Unfortunately it was still closed due to COVID. Enjoy your weekend, Matt!

[@SwiftyTravels]

so beautiful! I can't believe the crowds so early in the morning! When we went a few years ago, my husband wouldn't get his feet wet :-( I'll be planning this vacation again!

[@AmericasParks]

Yeah, this hike keeps increasing in popularity. Tell your husband to get in that water next time! lol! :)

[@reneeh2050]

Ah, the Narrows. The hike that made me fall in love with hiking. We rented the waterproof shoes, socks, & poles from an outfitter near our hotel. Stay safe! Be well!

[@AmericasParks]

Neat to hear, Renee! Hope you have a great week!

[@parismonet3106]

What was the name of the outfitter you rented shoes from?

[@LivinLifeWithDean]

Great video & great quality! This would be an incredible place to vlog!

[@AmericasParks]

Absolutely! Usually I do more or a "vlogging format" too, but on this hike just let the scenery do the talking. lol! Thanks!

[@12inch_monster]

my destination summer 2021. can't wait.

[@AmericasParks]

Nice to hear - you're going to have a great time!

[@voodooaudioeditsFunnyGirl]

Looks incredible ☺☺☺

[@AmericasParks]

Sure was! One of the best National Park hikes. Thanks for visiting the channel!

[@HappyTrailsHiking]

Randy is dedicated to the Narrows! HAHA! I good hike to get to a good hike! Thanks for sharing it all with us, Randy. These are crazy times and I can't catch every video. But happy to have come across this one. Thanks for creating. Take Care! Kay

[@AmericasParks]

Hey Kay! Thanks for the the kind words! So funny... Literally at your channel right now getting ready to watch your Yellowstone video. We just returned and always nice to stir up the memories. Seeing it's tips, etc... probably should have watched it before we went! lol!

[@USARoadtrip364]

Good place to visit. Need to reserve the shuttle ticket to go the scenic drive. Wow you were lucky though thanks for sharing your video

[@AmericasParks]

Yes, good reminder for the viewers. We were there the day before they opened the shuttles, hence the early wait in line. Still nice memories.

[@travioli45]

Great video! It's so cool to watch this after walking in the same parts of the narrows that you did!

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks so much, Travis! Neat to hear you've been out there and the video brought back some great memories!

[@JohnHH59]

Love, love, love the Narrows. Done it three times and am aching to go back. Easily one of my favorite hikes EVER. Looks like you and your wife had a wonderful time. (Where are the kids?!) Thanks for posting.

[@AmericasParks]

Hey John, just some time alone on this one. Nice that the girls are old enough to stay by themselves now. Great taste, my friend! This hike is IMHO too is one of the very best! Thanks!

[@sluggotinfantryman]

Yet another icon of west hikes. Zion is all about observation point. 8 miles. Obviously Angels Landing is numero uno.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Now, I like an early start but that was early even for me but worth it for them stars alone, oh and to get no.62. Looked a fun walk but one you needed to be careful with, do not want a slip or a break there. That was one tight squeeze through the rocks, I can see where they got the name from now. I have only ever been recognised by strangers 3 times but not once on the trail, each time it was in a shopping mall - weird lol! Cheers Alan

[@AmericasParks]

haha! Famous in the shopping malls! Great comment!

[@buffett2010]

Great Vlog!! Love Zion!! Happy 4th of July a day late 😀

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks and hope you had a great holiday weekend too!
