| Can you see the rocks 'weeping' ? This is caused when rainwater that has seeped into the permeable layers of rock hits the impermeable layers of rock and has no where else to go. |
 |
| As you can see, the trail is flat and cemented, so the hike isn't strenuous and is easy on your feet :) |

| The end of the trail, and the beginning of The Narrows (you can see people beginning to walk into the river). |
The Temple of Sinawava is the last stop on the Zion's Shuttle. This trail, generally called the Riverside Walk, as the trail follows along the Virgin River, is a really easy trail to hike and there are several points where you can veer off and chill by the river. The main purpose of this trail is for hikers to enter into The Narrows, but if you are just looking for a relaxed walk rather than the more strenuous Narrows, then this is a good option.
It took us roughly an hour to hike/walk back and forth. I will say this, with The Narrows being so popular, there were a lot of people on the trail, it didn't bother me at all, but this is something to consider when planning your hike. It was a really hot day, but since you are between the cliffs, we were in the shade most of the time, which really made the walk pleasant. We didn't end up hiking The Narrows on this trip, since we were strapped for time. However, I've actually done this before on my first trip to Zion some 13 years ago and had a blast, so definitely check it out if you have the time.
