[9/28/2018] The below info has a status change. As of Friday September 28, 2018 the Narrows, Top Down permits are again being issued. An agreement was reached with a landowner, to resolve the conflict.

[9/25/2018] Reports started flowing in 9/25/2018 that Zion National Park has suspended issuing permits to the “Narrows” area, including the popular “Top-Down” trips.

This is due to a dispute over Private Property rights.

Day hiking from the Temple of Sinawava to Big Spring is open. Upstream travel beyond Big Spring is prohibited.

We haven’t heard what has triggered this. It is a reminder to respect the land, and the locals at all times, no matter where you travel. You never know what might make someone decide to no longer share.

Here is a Link to the official Zion NP website.

One of our contributors has provided a great write-up on Hidden Falls. Again we wish to thank Jessica Rose for her time. But alas we have been informed this area is Off Limits to visitors/tourists.

Those recommending a visit to this area are misinformed. We where given information that this particular Falls, and general side trail area is not marked on purpose . Visitors and tourists are not suppose to be in this area.

Brain Volk writes:

There is a reason that there aren’t signs marking this falls, and above it, on the trail, there are signs saying not to go there. The cliff and ground around it is unstable.

The Ramada (wooden structure) is rebuilt and used for ceremonies. Its not an area where tourists are supposed to go. We are not welcome to go off the main trail here.
