Maybe biking and hiking is more accurate. We biked several miles up to the entrance of the Narrows, where the Virgin River cuts a deep path through sedimentary rock. There's frequently only water across the path, so our wading shoes and neoprene socks were crucial for comfort and safety.
We took the Orderville branch, which was more challenging and entertaining than the main narrows.
We had to scramble up rock walls and wade in chest-deep water to get through a series of obstacles. Fun but definitely demanding and requiring our full attention.
We got back in one piece and then went over to the Weeping Rock, where sandwiched layers of limestone and sandstone are permeated with rainwater and drain at the exposed face.
There are ground squirrels everywhere.
