over Zion National Park led to flash flooding. This very small stream flows through Zion NP through a slot canyon known as the "Narrows". The Narrows is one of the most popular hikes in the park. In places, shear vertical walls are about 20-25 feet apart and there is no escape to high ground. The Narrows have been the site of previous flash flood fatalities. 2 groups of hikers ignored warnings and began hiking this dangerous area. |
