Warnings and Dangers  

Flash floods in the Narrows!! ...

3.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

Flash floods in the Narrows!! Make sure you speak with a ranger at the Visitor Center before attempting the hike into the Narrows - even if you're only going in for a couple of miles. Between late July and early September it can be closed to hiking because of flood danger. It may not be raining where you are but it could be somewhere upstream and that can be very dangerous. It's not worth the risk if the weather isn't cooperating. A major factor to the danger is that the canyon gets very narrow and the water coming through will rise quickly and can carry large objects with it including fallen trees, boulders, etc. The force can be immense.
