Zion hike in The Narrows



What an absolutely beautiful, amazing place!  This hike is now in my favorite top 3.  In early September, my husband and I spent about 6 hours hiking in the Virgin River through this gorgeous slot canyon.  Most of the time the water was ankle or mid calf deep.  Sometimes though, it came up to mid thigh.  What an fun adventure!
