The Narrows in Zion National Park is certainly one of the most unique hikes in the National Park system and arguably one of the most scenic. The Virgin River carves an incredibly steep and beautiful canyon, and the bouncing, reflecting light is sublime. I spent over 7 hours hiking and photographing in ankle to knee deep water with my good friend Erik Stensland. We had a fantastic time exploring all the way up to Big Springs and back. Here’s some images from the day…

Excellent work, Scott! The first and third are really standouts to me. You might be the only one to take a scene like the first one from there and not crank the saturation to +100. The natural color rendition is solid and refreshing. And the third one, hanging garden is right; very sweet and unique.
