Adventure Tips
Wear sturdy water shoes
The Virgin River’s bottom is often slippery with smooth rocks and algae—proper footwear with good grip is crucial.
Pace yourself through the river
Expect slow wading and some scrambling; take your time and watch your footing to avoid falls.
Carry a waterproof camera or case
The Narrows offers exceptional photo ops, but you’ll be in water—protect your equipment accordingly.
Check river flow levels before you go
High water levels can make the hike dangerous or inaccessible; your guide will monitor conditions carefully.
