The Narrows: Part 1

Sorry it's taken me so long to post about my hiking trip with Laurie and Nate in Zion National Park. On the Friday they were here, we headed up to Zion from Flagstaff. On the way there, we saw really beautiful views of the desert. We also stopped at the Glen Canyon Dam which you can see in the pictures below, which was really awesome. When we finally got up to Zion, we got on the shuttle bus to our trailhead and were on our way. First you just hike along a paved path that is about a mile long until it ends at the start of The Narrows. Here a lot of people were hanging out on the little beach and swimming in the pools of water, which looked really fun and refreshing. The Narrows is a really awesome place where you get to hike right in the canyon, sometimes actually in the river at it's bottom. We all had such a great time, enjoying the views and the escape from the heat. It was nice and cool down in the canyon, especially when walking through the river, which was such an experience. It definitely tops the list as the coolest thing I've ever done. I would looove to go back one day, next time with Nicholas, so he could enjoy all of the natural wonder with me. If you ever find your way out there, I cannot recommend this hike enough.

I'll have part 2 of this hiking trip's pictures up either tonight or tomorrow morning for you to see the rest of the beauty that is The Narrows and Zion National Park. Enjoy!
