If you have two vehicles, you can shuttle yourself by parking one vehicle at Chamberlain's Ranch and the other at the end of the hike. If you have one vehicle, you can arrange with other Narrows hikers to shuttle each other. The Zion Canyon Visitor Center maintains a Backcountry Shuttle Board where contacts can be made. The dirt roads are passable for normal cars only when dry. When wet, they may be impassable even for 4-wheel drive vehicles.
Snow closes the road in winter.
From the park's East Entrance station, drive 2.7miles east on Route 9. Turn left on a paved road and continue 18 miles to a bridge that crosses the North Fork of the Virgin River. Please close the gate behind you. To begin your hike, cross the river and follow the road for approximately 3 miles. Enter the river at the end of the road.
