Zion Narrows Waterfalls (including Orderville Canyon)

The 12ft waterfall obstacle in the Upper Narrows



The Zion Narrows Waterfalls are hidden in the famous Zion Narrows. These waterfalls act as both obstacles as well as scenic assets. The only way to see them is through a memorable trek along the Virgin River, which allows you to spend the night within the depths of the tall sandstone cliffs surrounding you. As you camp for your night in the Narrows, you will sleep in the open underneath the sliver of starry skies between the cliffs in the comfortable summer's night air.

The nice thing about this trek is you don't need technical gear to experience the magic of the place. And you can get outfitted by shops in Springdale that will provide spider rubber canyoneering shoes for grip on the slippery boulders as well as dry bags to keep your gear dry if you need them.

In addition to the memorable experience, look for these notable waterfalls:

  • A 12ft waterfall in the Upper Narrows
  • Big Springs
  • A 10ft waterfall in Orderville Canyon
  • Mystery Falls

There are also many more hidden waterfalls in the side canyons of Deep Creek, Kolob Creek, Goose Creek, and Orderville Canyon past the 10ft waterfall obstacle.
