The River Walk and The Narrows trails are located in Zion National Park. The River Walk is billed as the most popular hike in the park. The Narrows begins at the end of the River Walk where hikers can continue up the canyon for about another 3 and a half miles. The River Walk itself is an easy hike with only minor changes in elevation. Hiking the Narrows requires wading and swimming in the Virgin River for most of the distance.
