Riverside Walk

Riverside Walk is an accessible, ADA compilable, paved path that runs along The Narrows for one mile starting from the Temple of Sinawava. This path allows visitors an easy way to see, and experience, a portion of The Narrows without embarking on a long distance, overnight trek. 

Zion National Park's Narrows are the narrowest part of Zion Canyon and are among its most popular attractions. In order to hike the entire length of The Narrows, visitors must obtain a permit and be willing to walk through the Virgin River without a trail. With Riverside Walk, visitors are able to easily view The Narrows without getting their feet wet.

DIRECTIONS
Travel for one mile along the Riverside Walk path starting from the Temple of Sinawava and then turn around and retrace your steps back to the start.
