Riverside Walk
A flat, paved trail to the deepest part of Zion Canyon. It follows the Virgin River to the entrance of the Narrows and is suitable for all ages.
The trail starts at Temple of Sinawava, the final stop on the shuttle route. The round trip is about 3.5 km with almost no elevation gain, taking roughly 1 to 1.5 hours. The path follows the river past hanging gardens and damp cliff walls, where you often see mule deer and squirrels (do not feed them). At the end is the start of the Narrows wading route. Visitors who do not plan to wade can look at the river canyon here and then turn back. Some sections can be navigated with a wheelchair or stroller.
