August 14, 2006 The Narrows

August 14, 2006
A great day to end this adventure. I left Curly at the Doggie Dude Ranch, drove and had breakfast at the Majestic View Lodge. Took the shuttle into Zion. Rode the Zion Shuttle up to the last stop, Temple of Sinwava. From there is a a mile river walk, then the “hike” continues into the narrows. The narrows is a slot canyon and you walk in the water. It was sooo fun. I only went about a half a mile, to a spot called little waterfall. To do it properly, you should get outfitted with neoprene boots and a walking stick. I picked up a stick along the way, it really helps for balance. I would like to do more of the Narrows on another trip. Took the shuttle back to town, checked out the tiny local library, had dinner and picked up Curly. We drove a couple of hours and got a hotel just outside of Vegas. La Quinta is pet friendly, with breakfast and internet. It was 94 degrees when we got here at 9:00 last night. Now I’m off for home.
