Zion National Park - Narrows Packraft

May 20-21, 2017 - Southwest Utah

21.2 mi  /  1,577 ft

We waited years (literally) for the cfs on the Virgin River to cooperate to be able to packraft the famous Zion Narrows, and it finally did last year. I thought Dave and Mike were being overly optimistic that it would cooperate two years in-a-row, but that's exactly what it did. It was a little lower this year (approx. 50 cfs), but still very raftable. This year Mikey and Dave's friend John joined us. A rock slide that closed the tunnel road nearly derailed the entire trip, but luckily it reopened in just the nick of time. Like last year, this route really delivered...and I was able to run the final rapid sin swim, too! :)
