#Backpacking #ZionHiking
Scenery: ★★★★★
Difficulty: ★★★
Distance: 16 miles
Duration: 2 days backpacking trip
Hiking the entire trail requires permits even for day hiking.
We booked the shuttle service from Zion Adventure Company (https://www.zionadventures.com) to Zion Narrows Upper Trailhead (https://goo.gl/maps/9tifascEJX12). It costs $37 per person and takes 2 hours. The shuttle is twice per day, 6:30am and 9:30am. I highly recommend 6:30am shuttle if possible because of two reasons. There is no water in the first 3 miles and it could be very hot even in the morning. Second, the campgrounds are less than 10 miles from the trailhead but it can take longer than expected. It took 10 hours for us, not because it’s difficult hike, actually it was very easy, but because it’s so beautiful and there were so many places to play.
It is not recommended to drink the river water even after filtering as it’s muddy and there is a ranch in the upper region. There is a spring near the campsite #12 which is the only reliable water source. I carried 3 liters of water for the first day. I reached the spring easily in the morning second day.
There are 12 campsites along the river. The campsite #1 has outstanding view. All other sites are pretty much the same. The campsite #12 has advantage that it’s close to the spring.
This hike was one of the best hikes in my life. I already want to go back.

Hi Yongsung, great video! So if the shuttle left at 6:30 I'm guessing you were on the trail by 9:00. Did it take you 10 hours to get to campsite #1? Also, do you recommend neoprene socks because the water can be cold? Love all your adventurous hikes btw!!
Thank you to see it in another season. We did it in Fall, 1979, and the colors were gorgeous!

패키지관광으로 다녀온 자이언캐년은 빙산의 일각이라고도 못하겠네요 너무 웅장해요👍👍👍
Cool hike!
This one is on my bucket list too. Great work, Yongsun! 👍
This is our favorite hike. Ours is just the basic Temple of Sinawava to Narrows route. Have you done any canyoneering? The Subway at Zion would have been perfect for you.
As always nice video beautiful place sir…
