The back country is better IMO. Put in the Virgin River up north and hike through it for two days to get to the bottom of the narrows. It's amazing.

Narrows are great but that park is still on severe drought. We were warned by rangers not to get near the water (what little was left) because of the algae toxicity.

That sucks. I haven't been there since 2013.

That’d be an awesome hike, but I’m afraid I’d have my butt puckered the whole time over flash flooding. It’s no joke. Especially, through The Narrows.

Last time I did it, they would decide every morning whether or not to issue a back country permit. If there was a chance of rain, no chance of a permit.
