- Our favorite hike we have done so far is The Narrows in Zion National Park! We visited in July 2023 after a heavy rained Spring so the water was flowing! This is definitely one of the best parks and best hikes in America. Please like and subscribe on RUclips, as well as follow us on Instagram and TikTok! Thank you for watching!
Really enjoyed this video. Took me back to the 3 years I lived in Zion National Park in the 90s. ♥
Thank you so much, that really means a lot. And how cool! That must have been amazing. Definitely one our our favorites places we have visited so far!
Enjoyed this very much . Love the footage of the hike.
Thank you very much. Really appreciate the kind words!
I did the narrows last month and the water was the colour of mud and you couldn’t see the rocks beneath you. Loved it though.
Same here! We went in early August and man it was so murky. However, there was a relatively large flash flood the night before we did the narrows so I definitely think that contributed to the muddy color.
Nice job on filming and editing, looks like a fun day outside!
Thank you so much! Really appreciate the kind words.
Done it a couple times, absolutely beautiful hike! But personally, I like West Fork in Sedona. Very similar and way less crowded, especially after the first few miles.
Looks beautiful, thanks for the recommendation! Can’t wait to go soon.
@@ParksnParks If you do visit Sedona might I also suggest Soldiers Pass and either a hike up Shnebley Hill or rent a side by side as it’s a very rough road. But at the top it offers some of the most spectacular views. If you’re in an RV I would suggest Rancho Sedona, it’s literally on Oak Creek!
your shorts looks so comfy ! where did you get them?
Thank you! They are the baggy Patagonia shorts from the Patagonia website!
WoW! That's Incredibly Awesome And Breathtaking! Have A Wonderful Weekend!
Thank you very much!
How long did it take you guys and how many miles was it ?
The cool thing about the narrows is that it is 16 miles long! You go as far as you want (however you may need a permit for the last few miles). We went a little over 2 miles in + 2 miles back + the 1-mile river walk to get to the start of the narrows, there and back. In total, we did about 6 miles.
I want to do it again. Went memorial weekend. Lots of people. I got as far as mystery falls but next time will go do early am. Water was cold, so i am thinking 50 degrees.
Ahh yes, we went on Memorial Day weekend a few years ago - so crowded! And Mystery Falls, we will check that out next time we go in august. Thanks for watching!
Awesome video! .. we are planning on going towards the end of may.. what time did you guys get there and how’s was parking ??
Thank you so much. And nice! I would say try to get on the first shuttle of the morning in the town of Springdale, which I believe begins around 6am or 6:30am. It’s much more convenient and you can beat the crowds of the afternoon. Keep in mind the water will be very chilly! Sorry for the late reply - hope you have fun!
the top down through hike is fantastic (permit required). Hardly any people until about 3-4 miles from the end then hundreds (thousands?) of people.
Sounds amazing! Hoping to do that one day!
Do you need to rent the shoes and socks in end of August?
If the Narrows are open (which they usually always are in August, unless there is a flash flood) then you are able to rent shoes and socks and hiking sticks right at the entrance of the park in Springdale. Personally, we have been fine with some sturdy high top hiking shoes from home and a good hiking stick/pole. We’ve done the narrows 5 times and never had any issues.
big words "best hike in usa"
You used regular boots, must hard to get dried up
Dried pretty quick actually. Left them outside for a couple of days and dried up fine. Have used the same boots 3 times in the narrows
what was water temperature?
Very cold! And you don’t always get a lot of sunlight due to the height of the canyon walls. But if you go in summer, you get used to the water pretty fast and it feels so refreshing!
That's a bold claim. What other hikes have you actually done?
We’ve lived in California our entire lives and have been able to hike some pretty amazing hikes here. Been to 15 US national parks so far (obviously have a lot more to go). Some other ones that stood out to us were the Kalalau trail on Kauai, Mist Trail in Yosemite, Delicate Arch in Arches, Grand Prismatic in Yellowstone, Skyline trail in Mount Rainer, Pīpīwai Trail on Maui. The Narrows remains at the top for us so far. Done it 5 times and it’s incredible every time. Curious to know which ones you think rank higher?
