[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sad to read this about Zion. It has always been my dream to do the Narrows.[/quote]

Definitley go! Hiking and experiencing the Narrows were utterly amazing. It was a bit crowded at the trailhead but if you continue a few miles the crowds really fall away.
Do not miss this hike. It was something I will remember all my life.[/quote]

Just temper your expectations. While PP's own hike was memorable, others' experiences may be much much different. FWIW, it was more than "a bit crowded" at the trailhead when we were there just last week. That means you have to barrel through crowds for quite a bit of the hike before it thins out. This included large groups who were trying to stay together and many were not in physical condition to be hiking.

Also keep in mind that the facilities for Zion are completely overwhelmed. The port-a-potties and dry toilet facilities had long lines and were absolutely filthy. They literally had mounds of excrement inside of them that came dangerously close (less than a foot) to the top opening.

IMO, there are so many areas nearby that have wonderful hiking opportunities you are better off doing one of those than the "famous" Narrows. [/quote]
What time did you get to the trailhead? Not crowded if you start early enough.

Angel's Landing hasa lottery, so they're limiting that one.[/quote]
