Hike the Narrows to Wall Street
HikingChallengingSpringSummerFall
November offers a unique window to trek through the Virgin River’s towering slot canyon with fewer crowds; drysuit rentals from local outfitters are essential as water temperatures drop.
Itinerary tips
- 1Rent a full drysuit bib, neoprene socks, and canyon boots from an outfitter in Springdale to prevent hypothermia.
- 2Plan for a 6-to-8-hour round trip to reach the iconic 'Wall Street' section and return to the trailhead.
- 3Take the Zion Canyon Shuttle to the Temple of Sinawava, which is the final stop on the park's scenic drive.
- 4Check the National Park Service flash flood monitoring report on the morning of your hike to ensure conditions are safe.
- 5Bring 70% of your snacks in waterproof bags and use a sturdy wooden walking stick for stability on the slippery 'bowling ball' rocks.
- 6Pack a headlamp even for morning starts, as the deep canyon walls block sunlight significantly by mid-afternoon.
