This is hike #12 of 22 we will be doing this year; at just 2 miles round-trip, mostly on a flat, paved surface, it is one of the easiest hikes in the park but affords gorgeous scenery. The Riverside Walk serves as the gateway to the famous Zion Narrows. From the moment you leave the car parking lot, you enter the narrowing and looming walls of the Canyon before you. Due to the recent rains, the waterfalls and river were flowing good and added beauty to the trail. We have hiked this trail many times, always stopping at the point in the picture above, which is the start of the Narrows hike which we will be completing this summer as soon as the weather warms up, and the water slows down and gets warmer!
The picture below doesn't do it justice - this waterfall was spurting out fast and impressive from the Heaps Canyon - notice the 2 huge mounds of snow/ice it has created toward the bottom of the picture?!
