The Narrows in 📍Zion National Park! SAVE this p The Narrows in 📍Zion National Park!

The Narrows is one of the most popular hikes in Zion, and one of the most unique ones! Most of the hike, you walk in the water in the beautiful canyon.. and it gets really deep at some points! During hot summer it’s so refreshing!

How to do the Narrows hike🥾:
- it’s easy - moderate hike, and you can choose how far you go! Most people walk about 1-2 hours one way! But honestly I didn’t want to stop! It’s beautiful and so fun, so it took me around 5-6 hours total for the hike! 

- Rent the gear - boots🥾,neoprene socks 🧦and hiking poles! There are a couple of places near the  park entrance where you can rent, ex @zionoutfitter . . The water is pretty cold, and since you walk for 2-6 hours, with your feet in the water, it will make your life more comfortable! Also, it’s pretty rocky, so special boots and hiking poles are highly recommended! I saw lots of people falling!

- it’s Easy-Moderate hike, and you can choose how far you go
- most people, this hike takes 2-6 hours!
- I recommend renting the gear (poles, neoprene socks and boots). The water is pretty cold, and since you walk for 2-6 hours, with your feet in the water, it will make your life more comfortable! Also, it’s pretty rocky, so special boots and hiking poles are highly recommended! I saw lots of people falling!

- to get there, hop on a free Shuttle that goes in the park, and get off at the last stop! (Around 45 mins)

- also, there’s a a 1 mile hike to the Narrows (20-30 min)

- keep in mind, there are no bathrooms on this hike

White Sands in New Mexico is ultimate bucket list location! Beautiful and unique spot!

White Sands is not really a sand, but a gypsum field (the largest in the world). These dune was formed when an ancient sea evaporated! 

-The gypsum is different to the touch, very soft and slightly cool, even when it’s hot in the dessert!

- It was very warm in the dessert, but the “sand” was so cold at the sunset, that I almost froze my feet.. I ran to the car after, and tried to warm my toes with the car heater!

- Unlike sand, gypsum dissolves in the water!  But because its’s rarely raining in the dessert, the dunes are still there!

Few things you can do in the park:
✅drive around and enjoy the scenic view
✅climb the dunes
✅sand sledding - you can rent the sleds in the park for $10
✅Interdunes boardwalk - if you don’t want to take your shoes off, it’s a perfect 0.4 mile mile walk!
✅watch sunset - believe me, it’s absolutely out of this world!

💵Entrance fee is $25 or National park pass!
