By far, the best hike ever! We were not sure we wanted to do this hike at first. We heard different reviews about water levels and difficulty but decided to go for it. We rented from Zion Guide Hub and did the bib gators, boots, walking stick. Get there early since it gets really crowded by afternoon. Water level came up to chest height ( I am 5’4”). We stayed dry! Our feet got wet but the neoprene suit and boots were good. The water was cold so we were glad we had the waders. We had a dry pack and a backpack that we carried above the water level. As long as you take your time, watch your footing in the water and use the walking stick, it is manageable. We wore shorts and a few layers on top. We made it all the way to Wall Street!

Absolutely incredible but it is precarious along the rocks at times and not for the out of shape. There is only one way in and out and there are large rocks everywhere, but the breathtaking scenery is worth the hardship. I recommend water shoes and a walking stick

The hike was great. Going in early March, I knew I was going to get either bibs or a full dry suit. I'm very pleased I went with the full suit. On March 8, there were multiple spots where the water was collar-bone high on me, and one where I wasn't touching bottom, and I'm 6' tall. I stayed mostly dry, though, and I was able to go a full mile further than anyone else I saw on the trail that day, thanks to the suit. I got the suit at Zion Adventures Co. The other outfitters didn't advertise them. Your trip up will take twice as long as your trip back, so consider that when planning your day.

We decided to do the Narrows (last minute) and everything was amazing. We rented bibs from Zion Guru the night before so you can have an early start the next day, highly recommend. We had 4 bibs for the 2 parents, 17 and 15 year old. We rented full suit for the 10 year old. Water at it's deepest was chest height for me at 5'8''. We had all our camel backs with water and lunch. We left at 8:30am, waiting in line for the shuttle and started our hike around 10am. We went to the floating rock and had lunch around the small waterfall when the canyon is narrow. Takes longer to get there since you are against current, and takes half the time to get back as you are walking with the current, hence much faster. Walking on rocks the whole time is difficult but my 10 year old made it and everyone had such a great time. Great laughs and amazing scenery. Something so special that you don't get to do anywhere. Highly recommend it. It's also 10 to 15 colder degrees in the Narrows than in the normal place as there is not much sun and walking in cold water, but in the end, we had 3 layers and we never felt cold. We put some wool socks and all was great. If you are thinking if you can do it with your family, don't think too long, just do it. On our way back, since the 10 year old had a full suit, you just need to add air in your suit (blow some air) and tighten around your neck, and then you just put your feet up and float down with the current. Was great to see her have so much fun!

We read wanted to hike the narrows so we left as early possible and walked the first mile(s) fast as we would pass these again on our way back. This ment that we ultimately saw less and less people. We had more than enough drinks and food with us so could go on while keeping track on the time it would take us to get back. Luckily we came all prepared with good hiking she's and hiking poles. We saw many hikers in sneakers as well as slides( what?) This is one of our favorite hikes and it is always ALWAYS a new adventure to hike through the narrows. We came back at the end of the day and were dead tired but very happy:) Looking forward to hike the Narrows again in a few years!

Second time, we have hiked this. Both times in September. We got the first shuttle from the lodge, just after 7am, and entered the water at 8am. Hardly anyone around. After approx 10 mins, we came to a deep patch, and at 5,1" it wasn't far away from my chin. But after that part, it was hardly up to my knees. We hiked to the orderville part. Had a picnic and slowly made our way back. We hired equipment at Zion outfitters, and there advice on that day, was to be out of the water by 1pm ISH. We listened, we did that. We saw a few ppl without the necessary equipment, and we witnessed a fair few falls, into the water. Some even in flip flops! It is an enjoyable hike, when we came back, there were quite a lot of other ppl, especially as we got closer to the entrance. Definitely recommend it, with right equipment, but not sure if I would do this with under 7. Or if you are elderly.

Beautiful and amazing experience. Make sure you are well prepared for the hike in the water. We wore water booties in our trail shoes, used a thick hiking stick. We wore shorts and shirts that try fast.

We made to the split only, water was cold, around 45, highly recommend the Rental gear, it helped a lot and worth. With family, 2 teens, but still seeing little kids too. Most of the time water level was 2ft deep in average, some were 4ft deep, my husband needed to hold up my girl to cross. Going up the steam in morning, down the stream in the afternoon, we walked about 5 miles round trip, took us almost 5 hours, up stream took almost double the time. But it truly worth the time and energy, get into the canyon, the scene is extremely tremendous.

The views were spectacular. The hike itself was challenging, since most of the hike was in the river on rocks. It was a ton of fun though. I would highly recommend having water boots or renting them. The water was quite chilly, and I saw several people in waders, which I thought was quite genius. Make sure you have a water proof bag for your valuables. Some people also had hiking poles. Take plenty of water and some snacks, and just enjoy your day….. it’s absolutely gorgeous!

This was a top 10 thing to do in my life and it lived up to my expectations. SO beautiful. It's hard work to do but not insurmountable if you are in decent shape even as a 60+ woman that I am. It was mostly shin deep water with some up to the waist and it was cold but not unbearable. I rented the water boots, neoprene socks and walking stick from Zion Outfitters and that was SO PERFECT to use. I highly recommend it. You need support on your ankles for sure as the rocks in the river are big and slippery and the current is strong. People who did not have the walking stick were really struggling. Gorgeous scenery throughout the walk. We made it past Oderville split and turned around. Five hours of hiking.
