Wading in the Virgin River
The Narrows is the narrowest part of the canyon in Zion National Park. At a height of over 300 meters and in places only 20 meters wide. Here one does not leave a trail dry. They wade through the Virgin River. Not always allowed there. If it is the rainy season. The rangers won't let in. There is a risk of drowning.

A powerful experience to go through something like that.

A lot of people
