It was recommended to us by several friends to take trekking
poles or a walking stick with us on our hike up The Narrows. We’re both REALLY
glad we listened.
Hikes in just about every National Park are listed as the following: Easy,
which are usually paved or well maintained and short with little to no
elevation gain; Moderate, which are not for people with severe health problems and are
generally more difficult with rougher paths and trails; and Strenuous, which
can be very long, with little to no actual mapped out trail, large elevation
gain or difficult and dangerous terrain.
The Narrows is listed as Strenuous.
