Approximate Hiking Timetable in Hours: Landmark Time to Reach Chamberlain's Ranch 0:00 Bulloch's Cabin 1:00 First Narrows 3:30 Waterfall 4:15 Deep Creek 5:00 Kolob Creek 5:45 Goose Creek 6:35 Big Springs 7:20 Orderville Canyon 10:00 North End of Riverside Walk 11:50 Temple of Sinawava 12:20 Mile-by-mile itinerary Miles 0-3: The first part of the hike consists of a dirt road walk from Chamberlian’s Ranch to Bulloch’s Cabin. Miles 3-9: This section is where you’ll begin to hike in the river and descend into the Upper Narrows. Towards the end of this section, you’ll encounter Twelve Foot Falls, which you’ll navigate down on the left side. Be sure to turn around once you’re downriver to fully appreciate them! Miles 9-11: You’ll be treated to towering walls in this section, and if you’re camping, this is where you’ll start to keep an eye out for your designated campsite. Miles 11-12: Big Spring to Wall Street. In this wide area you’ll find a number of small waterfalls created by the springs flowing through the canyon walls. Miles 12-13: Wall Street—the most famous part of the Narrows. This is where the canyon starts to close in, and you’ll really begin to appreciate just how tall the walls are! You know you're entering Wall St when you get to the boulders. After this point, the water pools become deeper. Depending on the overall water levels, you may encounter water that is waist-deep or higher. A half mile into Wall Street you'll come to Floating Rock, a huge, 45-foot wide boulder that sits right in the middle of the river. Around the 13-mile mark, you’ll come to a junction with Orderville Canyon (it will be on the left?). Miles 13-15: Wall Street ends and you’ll continue hiking through the lower Narrows. Here, you’ll reach the Narrows Alcove—a cool feature where the river has begun to carve under the canyon walls, creating an alcove of overhanging rock walls—the lower Gateway of the Narrows, and Mystery Falls, a 110-foot waterfall that cascades down the canyon walls. Miles 15-16: The paved Riverside walk beings, taking you to the end of the hike at the Temple of Sinawava. This path is paved and follows along the river, and you’ll be able to enjoy close-up views of “weeping walls” and hanging gardens.
