What are The Narrows in Zion National Park?

I hear great things about Zion National Park in Utah. I’ve never been before, but several people told me that The Narrows is one of the coolest things they’ve ever seen. We got interrupted before I could ask more about it—in Zion National Park, what are The Narrows?

With over 4.3 million visitors each year, Zion National Park is the biggest attraction in
Utah
, outpacing even some of the other national parks like Arches, Bryce Canyon, and Canyonlands. The Narrows are a section of Zion Canyon in Zion National Park. This gorge features canyon walls 1,000 feet high, although the shallow river below is only about 20 to 30 feet wide.
The hike through The Narrows is one of the most popular in the entire park, provided you’re ready to get a little wet along the way. There’s no official trailhead for The Narrows; instead, you hike up the Virgin River.
Start your trek from the Temple of Sinawava via the Riverside Walk and then come back down. This hike takes an hour to complete. Alternatively, you can walk the Virgin River up to Big Spring, which takes you 10 miles round-trip and takes almost all day to complete.
