    The Narrows

    So full disclosure I did the river walk out to the start of the narrows. And while I KNOW this full…read morehike is a stunner I opted not to go farther than a short wade in up to my knees because I did not want to get wet!! I asked some folks going in about their waders; most people get them from Zion outfitters and I was told they're about $60 per person to rent (most including at least one, if not two walking sticks to help you keep your balance). I was also told they don't keep you fully dry, water still gets in but they do help keep you warm. If you go far enough in, the water comes up to your chest (assuming you're average height). Plan accordingly with your bag(s) etc. This hike is as long as you want it to be, the whole thing is the "view" within one of the deepest and most iconic slot canyons in the state - carved by the Virgin River itself that you're walking in. You can go up to 8-10 miles but most folks don't go that far before turning back. Even just the river walk out to the start of the river is really lovely though. One day I'll come out and hike beyond knee-deep :)

    The Narrows is the most unique hike I've done. You hike in water that can go deep up to your waist…read morein the Virgin River. We rented dry bibs and boots from Zion Outfitter, which didn't keep us dry, but they were supposed to. It was fun struggling against the current with our walking sticks for support, and the first section was sunny and warm, but it became more shady and cold the farther we trekked into the canyon. The water was very cold in March, so renting gear is highly recommended. We just hiked to Wall Street and back, which is the recommended route, as well as a side path, for about a total of 8.5 miles.

    When you start low, you can only go higher. There's something so very liberating about that--about…read moreknowing that you're as low as you're going to get--and that no matter what step you take forward, you're going to stumble higher. Beaver Dam Wash, besides being a small but relatively unknown national conservation area in the southwest corner of the state, also holds the state's low point. There's some disagreement on just how low that point is (I find most sources say it's 2350ft, but a geologist with the USGS was in the local paper many years ago saying it's probably more like 2178ft). No one disagrees that it's here in the wash, however. It's also Utah's hottest point, so let's get the safety talk about of the way now: come prepared. The thriving metropolis of Shivwits, UT doesn't exactly have a 24-hour big box store, so if you're going to make the trek all the way out here, fuel up in St. George (and maybe pack an extra canister) and bring all the water, food, and supplies you'll need. Ya, it's technically not too far at all from St. George, but when you get out there running those dirt roads it starts to feel a little bit lonesome, and you'll want to give yourself the freedom to explore, too. You'll want to explore, but it's not the most hospitable territory. You don't have any recreation facilities, at least that I saw. This is a national conservation area, not a national recreation area. The landscape is mostly brush and there are Joshua trees out this far, and you've got 60,000-plus acres to stretch out. Mostly it's about the dirt roads that wind and twist and turn and lead over through Arizona and Nevada. All motor vehicles must remain on designated roads, and not all roads are designated for OHVs or motor travel. Do your homework and get a map. Note that it's probably equally as popular to access this from the Arizona side, by going to Littlefield, AZ and heading north on the road out of Beaver Dam (HWY 91) and later it turns to a high clearance 4WD situation when you head back west into the wash. So, what's out here, really? Well, there's a neat confluence of different landscapes, so you get this funky variety of brush, Joshua trees, bighorn sheep, and other flora/fauna that are coming together. It's not in-your-face amazeballs, but if you're quiet and know what you're looking for, it's really something simple and special. Get out on foot and walk around. Just don't do it in the summer. It's extreme weather and totally inhospitable. I wish I could spend a lot of time here. Not too, too much... but sometimes you have to get low to appreciate the highs.
