OGIO 365: Hiking the Narrows

Hundreds of millions of years in the making, Zion National Park in Utah is a unique and stunning place.

One of the most astounding segments of the park and a hike I was especially interested in, is the Narrows. What makes this hike so interesting is the fact that the trail follows the Virgin River, literally. For most of the hike, you are actually walking in water! For this reason, the Narrows is a trail without a trail. It is never the same, as erosion slowly digs ever deeper and flash flooding can quickly tear apart the landscape within the canyon.
