Located deep within Utah's Zion National Park, the Zion Narrows features a spectacular gorge with towering walls of Navajo sandstone sculpted by the Virgin River. As one of the premier slot canyon hikes in the world, the trek requires hikers to wade upstream through the river itself, navigating ankle-deep to chest-deep water amid stunning shadows and reflected light. The Narrows offers a spectacular display when the canyon glow appears. The midday sun strikes the top of the massive sandstone cliffs and reflects downward, illuminating the gorge in a brilliant golden-orange radiance. This reflection creates the illusion that the rock walls are glowing from within.
