Hiking THE NARROWS in the SPRING with our KIDS! | Zion National Park

We hiked the famous Narrows in Zion National Park in April, during the time when the river is freezing cold with snow melt water. The trail was closed for 4 days prior, because of high water levels, but we were finally able to hike the trail on our last day in Zion!

    Do you remember what the CFS was for the river when you were there?

    CFS? Sorry, I’m not familiar with that acronym.

    So awesome! What part of April were you there? It look like we are going to be there the last week of April if all goes to plan!

    I'm going in the end of April. Anything you would have changed? Would you have chosen the dry suit instead of the bib? Wear some warmer clothes underneath?

    No, the bibs were fine for us, since the water never got up past our waist, but we were very thankful our boys had the dry suits on. Your feet will be freezing, but there’s not much you can do about that. It was actually quite warm in the sunshine areas, so we were perfectly fine in just our light jackets underneath. Our boys were a bit colder because the water came up higher on them, and they don’t have as much natural insulation. Our hands were a bit chilly, so as long as you don’t plan to put your hands in the water, you could wear some gloves. On the way back, I tripped, and both of my arms got soaked, so that wasn’t fun. But otherwise, we enjoyed it! Make sure you bring food and water with you!

    So sorry, it was our first time and we had no one instructing us on the proper way to do it.
