My father drove to the bottom of the hike and started upstream to meet us and perform the hassles of the car shuttle. It's open hiking for the first while but then closes in for the narrows. These walls are more rugged and less finely sculpted that other hikes of this kind, but that is kind of their charm too. No slot canyon is like any other. About mile 8, you come to the logs jammed high above your head in the deepest and narrowest part of the narrows.
Many people turn around here and head back upstream.
This hike is a mixed bag for difficulty. The terrain is virtually flat, but you are slogging through water most of the time which can be taxing. We continued on downstream to see the things we hadn't seen before. We met my Dad just after exiting the narrows portion. We had excellent weather, which meant temperatures out in the open were in the high nineties.
