The Virgin River Narrows, Zion National Park (June, 2007)

 
The trail into The Narrows begins at the end of Zion Canyon, about a 30 minute shuttle ride from the visitors center at other end of the canyon.  The last stop (where you get off) is the Temple of Sinawava.  Don't get in such a hurry to hit The Narrows that you forget to look around, it truly does get its name honestly.  From there you head up the somewhat scenic, 1-mile long Riverside Walk (on the right side of the photo).

This is a paved trail and easily accessible by all.  It will also be crowded!  This section of the Virgin is beginning to get more scenic than its appearance through most of Zion Canyon.
