shedd aquarium: We are planning to visit Zion national park in october. I'm very interested in hiking the narrows. How far can we go w/o getting wet? Or do we have to get dry suits and what not?|||You can enjoy the scenery for about a 30 minute hike before hitting the real narrows. After that you get wet, but you don't need dry suits. If it hasn't been raining you don't have to get wet past your knees. You should call ahead because they do have regulations and check-ins if you're doing more than just hiking up to the part where you get wet. There is a great, little known, slot canyon called Spring Creek that is just as scenic but dry. It is actually on the north west border, 10 miles or so north of the Kolob visitor's center. There are no signs, not gates, and you don't have to pay admission. On the south end of Kanarraville the road turns west a little bit. At this turn there is an unmarked dirt road that heads southeast. It only goes maybe a mile now, but used to go to the mouth of the canyon. Park and hike a mile up the old road (no motor vehicles allowed) and you can't miss it.
