If you’ve hiked The Zion Narrows and enjoyed it, then you’ll enjoy this. This hike is more wild than the Narrows and it includes a steep climb (about 2000 feet in 2 miles). The hike is about 10 miles round trip, but it will feel like a lot longer.
Hiking through the creek can be difficult due to rocks, boulders, trees, and branches. It can be a challenge, but it’s fun.
This is an all day adventure. It takes more time than you would expect. We usually start out early and do not get back until 9-10pm.
A life jacket or float can really help you get past areas were you must swim. I have seen other people climb all the way up and run around the swimming portions of these hikes, but that seems like more work than just swimming or paddling your way up the river.
There are plenty of smaller waterfalls along the way to destination falls.
This is an out of town hike that is a 5-6 hour drive from Las Vegas. It will also take a high clearance vehicle to get to the trail head. We do not have space for extra people, so if you want to go on this trip, then you’ll need a high clearance vehicle or be able to arrange a ride with somebody who is already going.
