Utah Vacation - Zion Virgin River

We did our last hike in Zion this afternoon.  We took the shuttle up the canyon to the end of the road and did the 2 mile round trip path along the river as it comes through the narrows.




There were lots of people walking in the river through the narrows.  We elected not to do that when we found out the water temperature is 45 degrees, you can be in water up to your waist, and there is strong current and very difficult walking over rocks that you can't see under water.  There apparently is a company outside the park which rents shoes, strong hiking poles, etc. but we did not enter the park that way.  In any case, such a walk is definitely not our thing.
