Zion National Park officials are reminding visitors that river flows are still strong at the Narrows, even after the spring snowmelt has mostly come to an end.
ZION NATIONAL PARK — Zion National Park officials are reminding visitors that river flows are still strong at"Visiting there is no walk in the park," park spokesman Jonathan Shafer said on Friday. "Water is running high, fast and cold."
This year's strong snowmelt led to flows as strong as 3,270 cubic feet per second in May. Its flow has now dropped down to about 70 cubic feet per second just in time for the busy July 4 holiday. However, park officials note that walking the route can still be "challenging" with frequent mid-thigh-deep crossings and chest-deep pools at 70 cubic feet per second.
The Narrows is expected to be busy during the holiday, especially with a forecast calling for temperatures to remain in the upper 90s and lower 100s this week. Park officials recommend visitors drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration and watch for signs of heat stress because of this week's forecast.
