Couldn’t disagree more. Went in the middle of summer and found it to be far more awe-inspiring than Angel’s Landing. We didn’t have trouble finding places to stop. It might have been a lower water level for us; it definitely never came up to chest level. I’m of the opinion you were there on a day of near rapid conditions, with high water volume creating dangerous conditions.

On a hot August day the cool water is so refreshing. There is absolutely nothing dangerous about the water flow most of the time. You just have to watch your footing and mind the weather reports.

Spent my entire youth in that area and I can say I know the exact spot where you are in this picture. That’s weird.

It's is a cool little town. We visit everytime on the way back or up to Yellowstone.

Alabama Hills?

Wind river is also a great movie! Spectacular shot!

Driving on that highway is amazing though. Growing up in the plains then driving through that pass was quite the experience. I felt bad for my wife who gets carsick and had to close her eyes the whole time.

Beautiful turquoise colors 🫶

Sleeping bear dunes?

Water clearer, and not improved.

Thank you

It was a magic morning. I spent 3 sunrises there and this was the best. I didn't have to edit much to make it pop. Glad you like it.

We went there once when I was a kid and I just remember 1) this arch, absolutely rad, and 2) the butterfly conservatory, where one of them landed on my head. Great time.

Tensleep canyon is stunning as well. It feels like a movie.

I knew that view when I saw it. We just hiked that trail last year. Amazing views.

This is where they shot some scenes of the movie The Uninvited? Looks really familiar

Very nice. I thought this was a painting at first because the light is so perfect.

You gotta hit up hanging lake too! Also very picturesque

There is no trail. It's just the river. Fine. A unique opportunity to hike in a river on a warm day.
But you're hiking with 3,000 to 5,000 of your closest friends. Half of whom don't understand or respect difficult trails--and make no mistake, the Narrows is difficult.
On a medium river day, there are few if any points of dry land. There is no place to stop. No place to sit and re-tie a boot. You're in the river, and that's it. At its lowest the river is a foot or two deep. But the river gets deep in places--up to your chest--and you either go in or you go back.
All of that is fine. I'm no cupcake, like I said I've done Angels and pretty much every other day hike in Zion.
But the trail isn't what you think. This isn't a sandy-bottom river. The river bottom is nothing but rocks and boulders. Imagine a million bowling balls of different sizes, all covered in incredibly slippery river slime, under 3-4 feet of water.
That's it. That's the Narrows.

Hours of unending, ankle twisting, dangerous slime-covered rocks under several feet of water. Every step you take you're subject to serious vacation-ending injury with no place to stop, no way to get help.
It's astounding the park service doesn't have to air lift a hundred people a day out for broken bones. That's not hyperbole. Even with experience and in the rented hard-soled water boots and walking staffs, it is ridiculously treacherous. People talk about the chains on Angels being dangerous and not understanding how the park service allows people to attempt a death-defying climb. But I'll take Angels over the Narrows any day.
And the messed up thing is that the views you get in the Narrows aren't unique or even especially good. The park is filled with tall, sheer cliffs and gorgeous scenery. There's nothing you can see in the first few miles of the Narrows that you can't find better examples of elsewhere in the park.
The Narrows is the emperor's new clothes for people who make an 8-hour stop in Zion on their way somewhere else. Cold, dangerous, crowded, and generally unpleasant.

Hi Alaric_Darconville! Dont worry, this message does not mean that your post is removed. This is a reminder to quickly check your post to make sure it doesnt break any of our rules. Human moderators check the following --

I'm not saying you have zero point with your first comment, but this is not a reasonable comparison in terms of global recognition. Google "Northern MI" and it shows the location. Google "Northern Ale" and it shows breweries. Google "Northern Ale" location and it shows breweries.

Dear Redditors, This is simply one of the most satisfying compositions I found originally but it was not easy to edit. In order to make this composition work, the key is to make it feel more 3-dimensional. I had a lot of trouble achieving this goal due to my lack of editing skills. The good news is you might see a new version of this shot in 10 years if I somehow get any better at editing.
