The Narrows Details

The relaxing Riverside Walk leads to the more challenging trail into the Narrows, a strenuous 15.4-mile journey between tight canyon walls, usually wading or swimming in the waters of the Virgin River itself. You're allowed to hike a few miles into the Narrows if you return to Riverside Walk, but you'll need a permit to hike all the way down through the Narrows from Chamberlain's Ranch to the Temple of Sinawava.
