ADVANCEDUpstream Through the Narrows to Big Spring
≈ 9,500 steps4.6 mi · a full dayAdvanced · 6 stops · 800 credGetting there is not the hard part.A full day walking in the Virgin River: from the Temple of Sinawava along the Riverside Walk, then upstream past Mystery Falls and Orderville Canyon into the walls of Wall Street, to Big Spring, the limit for day hikers. About 9.4 miles out and back, mostly wading. No permit, but the Narrows close when the river runs above 150 cfs or a flash flood warning is out.
