The Narrows (Zion NP)

The Narrows (Zion NP)

If you think that you’ve seen it all, wait till you hike The Narrows!! Technically, the adventure into The Narrows is more of wading in waters rather than hiking, as 60% of it will be in the Virgin River! And the landscape you’ll encounter during this adventure is truly out-of-this-world. Add to that that this adventure will take you off-the-beaten-path in one of the busiest NPs in the entire US, so the feelings and experience of exploring such a unique place, On Your Own, are priceless.

Most people will only venture to the entrance of The Narrows by hiking the easy 1-mile paved Riverside walk from the Temple of Sinawava, unaware, or not adventurous enough, that they only got a faint glimpse of what lies ahead.

This means that this adventure is not for everyone, especially if done in the springtime, as I did. There are risks of flash flooding and hypothermia that you might face. In the spring, the snow is still melting, which mixes with the Virgin River water in The Narrows, so the water is freezing and the weather can change suddenly leading to risks of rain and flash flooding. So don’t attempt to undertake this adventure unless you are very well prepared!

The first step of your preparation is that you’ve to consult with the rangers at the visitor center the day before your planned adventure about the risks of flash flooding. They’ve all the necessary information that will allow you to make an informed decision. If the risk is low, then you still have to avoid the risk of hypothermia as you’ll walk in a freezing waters, in some sections it’ll be knee-high, for more than 4 hours.

Your normal gear won’t cut the chase here, evern if you use waterproof gear, you still need something like a drysuit to insulate the cold; so, you’ll need special gear from head to toe! (for details on the gear you need click to request info). Luckily, you don’t have to buy them as there is an outfitter in Springdale, UT who rent out this gear and they are reliable (click to request info). So, prearrange your gear, and on your planned day to hike The Narrows, pick them up in the morning and get ready to embark on an adventure of a lifetime!!

As I mentioned earlier, the access to this adventure is after hiking the Riverside Walk. So, park your car at the Temple of Sinawava parking lot and don’t put on your gear yet, hike this trail to the mouth of The Narrows first.

Now it is time to gear up and getting ready to venture away from the crowd On Your Own

The total length of this adventure is about 3.6 miles (1-way) of hiking, rock hopping, and wading in the water inside a narrow gorge and splendid sandstone formations, till reaching Big Spring as you are not allowed to continue further on a day hike and without a permit; however, this is, by all means, not an easy 3.6 miles to navigate.

At the start of the adventure, the water level will be very low and even some sections will be dry, but you’ll start to get an idea of this special terrain and landscape. The first section will take you to an area called Narrow Alcove. In this section, you’ll have to continuously hop on the rocks to find your way around the fast running waters. It is fun, yet not to be underestimated.

With every step, the water level will get higher, making your experience more adventurous and unique.

When you reach the Narrow Alcove, there will be a small beach on the side where you can rest and take a break.

Right after the beach, the gorge will get narrower and narrower, and you’ll feel that you are on a different planet!

This section till the Grotto Alcove is the easiest of all sections and, in some areas, it gets wider and the water will be peacefully still.

Now, and after 1.6 miles, the highlight of The Narrows begins. Right after the Grotto Alcove, the narrowest part of the entire Narrows, called Wall Street, begins. This is the section for which you saw pictures in famous websites and thought that they were photoshopped as you couldn’t imagine someone can access this area:) The gorge here becomes so narrow and, in some areas, only 20-feet wide!

At the beginning of Wall Street, there is a detour to your right to Orderville Canyon which is a scary even narrower tributary of the Virgin river that isn’t for the faint hearted. Even if it looks scary from its entrance, try to, at least, venture a couple of hundred feet inside and back to experience this wild place.

No words can describe the Wall Street section…the curvy sandstone formations, the clear water, and the narrow gorge, gives it all a feel of exclusivity and eeriness that makes you feel unique and privileged. In some sections the water is shallow.

And it gets deeper and deeper in others

But in all sections, it is a landscape that will make you appreciate the beauty of our stunning planet

The wall street section ends about half a mile before Big Spring, the gorge will get wider and you’ll feel that you are back to life:)

Continue your way to Big Spring, have your picnic and rest and get ready for heading back and more adventures:)

Angel’s Landing Hike (Zion NP)

I have to admit, this must be the scariest hike that I’ve ever did!! It needs strong courage and belief in your abilities to be able to navigate the last part of this crazy trail! but the reward is the iconic view over the entire Zion canyon that only few can reach. It is a hike that truly captures the essence of the Wild Wild west; and as always…you can do it On Your Own!

To access this hike, you’ve to first start by hiking the strenuous West Rim trail till you reach Scout lookout. If you are here for this hike only, then you can access the West Rim trail from the Grotto parking lot; however, I combined this hike with the Emerald Pools hike so it was longer but with added rewards. So, following on from the Emerald Pools hike blog, I’ll take you in this blog through this amazing and unforgettable hike.

Coming down from the Upper Emerald Pools, you’ll merge with the Kayenta trail instead of heading back to your car. This is a moderate 1-mile trail that will mark the start of your endless uphill journey to Angel’s Landing:) The trail first starts gently along the North Fork of the Virgin river.

Then will start climbing up till you reach the junction with the West Rim trail. At this point you would have gained 150ft of elevation and, looking back, the bird’s eye views of the valley will start to unfold.

Now you’ll start the real hike, or shall I call it…the battle! From here you’ll continuously hike uphill on the West Rim trail. You’ll need every breath with every step you take, so take your time and use the opportunity to admire the views along the way…Behind You!

After around half a mile, you would have gained a considerable elevation by now; and looking back towards the rive and the snaking trail, you’ll realize how high up you are! The views here are a glimpse of what awaits you during the rest of your adventure, but they are outright amazing.

Take your breath and continue hiking up! Your muscles will start to ache by now, but also the adrenaline will be pumping:) The trail will continue along the rim for another mile or so before the start of the switchbacks to Scout landing, so take a break here and admire those yet more amazing views.

The landscape here is a true reflection of the Wild West with rocky desert terrain, a deep canyon carved by a mighty river, and cactus trees dotting the landscape.

Now you are close to Scout landing, only half a mile, but it is all uphill through endless switchbacks.

The switchbacks will take you away from the river and deep into the rocky rim that will give you a feeling of a wanderer:)

Finally, you’ll reach Scout landing after gaining an elevation of almost 1,400ft. At this point, the views are magnificent enough to make you wonder wait more can possibly await you! You are now almost at the top of the west rim of the canyon and you can see all the way down to the bottom of it.

And this is the road that you drove on!!

You can also see both sides of the canyon from here which gives you a stunning 360 degrees panoramic views.

Now its time to take a long rest and have your lunch because what awaits you is a completely different animal! You only have half a mile left to hike with approximately 90ft of elevation gain till you reach Angel’s landing, but this is not what should concern you here…what should is the trail itself!!

Take a close look at this picture!

Yes, you’ll hike on that trail and On Your Own!! So, you’ve a big decision to make! You should trust your abilities, but also know your limitations as fatalities are not uncommon here! So take your time, assess the trail and the weather, and decide if you want to continue or not…and, if you need any encouragement… I spent almost an hour at Scout landing trying to make a decision! I kept peaking at the trail, hike few yards and back, and thinking will I be able to do it! But, at the end, I gathered all the courage that I have and decided to go for it…and I’m glad I did. My advice to you when doing this part of the hike is to take your time, watch every step you take, use the guardrails and chains installed, don’t get distracted by the views, forget about taking pictures here:( and above all…NEVER LOOK DOWN!! And remember you have to come back the same way!

The start of the Angel’s landing trail will be on a slippery rock face. After this initial hurdle, you’ll feel a bit secure as, although the trail gets very narrow, it is not exposed from both sides. But this is the last of such comfort feeling which explains why I was happy in these pictures (took on my way back), and why these are the last pictures that I took:) I’ve to admit, I was scared to death and being a solo hiker, self-timer pictures aren’t an option here:)

  

It took me nearly an hour to navigate this trail and, lucky me, it wasn’t that windy. At some sections, I felt that I want to go back, but I couldn’t turn as the trail is so narrow, so my only option was to go forward and gather all the courage I have and trust my abilities.

I can’t describe the feeling when I reached this magical spot and because it took me so long to come here, I was alone which is an added bonus! It is so surreal, scary, and peaceful st the same time. So enjoy this unforgettable moment and take as long as you like…you did something really tough and you deserve this reward.

One last advice… don’t get a false sense of security on your way back and say to yourself that it’ll be easy as you did it before! Yes, it will be easier, but never easy. So, take the same precautions on your way back till you reach Scout landing…at this point youcan start dancing if you want:)

Emerald Pools Hike (Zion NP)

This is an introductory hike to this amazing wild park. It’ll give you an idea about the dramatic landscape here and how tough the terrain is…so lets begin!

This hike is a combination of 2 different trails that will take you to these majestic pools while passing along seasonal waterfalls along the way. The first hike is the easy 0.6mi Lower Emerald Pool trail which will then be combined with the moderately strenuous 0.5mi Upper Emerald Pool trail.

Entering the park from its main entrance near Springdale, UT, you’ll start driving along the Zion Canyon scenic drive. Take your time driving this scenic road as you are now entering the bottom of a massive canyon carved by the mighty forces of nature. Almost halfway through the drive, you’ll reach the Emerald Pools area where you’ll park your car and start your adventure (click to request info).

From the parking lot, you’ll start your hike by crossing the river and hike along the sheer rocky cliffs of Zion canyon. The rock formations are dramatic and, depending on the season, there will be small waterfalls all along the way dripping above your head…so prepare to get wet:)

 After crossing the river, the trail will start travelling uphill, but it is not steep, and as you hike along the cliffs, some sections will become very narrow. Here you’ll get a real feeling of how small humans are when standing next to these massive cliffs…its is an amazingly humbling feeling.

 

After about 0.4 miles, you’ll hike up some stairs that will lead you to the Lower Emerald Pools.

If you are here in late spring when the snow has melted, the pools will be full and deep, I was there in early spring so they weren’t that full as some of the snow has not melted yet.

However, standing at these pools surrounded by the massive rocky cliffs is a scene to remember.

From here, you’ll turn left and merge with the Upper Emerald Pool trail. It gets tougher from here as the trail will start going uphill.

As you hike along this trail, you’ll get closer and closer to the cliffs and the small waterfalls will continue dripping above you so be careful…it can be slippery.

Finally, reaching the upper pools signals the end of the trail and the views around you will be breathtaking.

The entire hike should take maximum 45 minutes, so its time to retrace your steps back along the Upper Emerald Pool trail, but at the junction with the Lower Pools trail don’t head back as this will be the start of the famously crazy Angel’s Landing hike…so get ready:)

 

Carriage Roads Bike Tour (Acadia NP)

Carriage Roads Bike Tour (Acadia NP)

Carriage Roads Bike Tour (Acadia NP)

Acadia NP has an extensive network of carriage roads that was constructed between 1913 and 1940. In total there are 45 miles of carriage roads and 16 stone bridges; and exploring these roads will take you to unchartered areas of the park. Of course, no motor vehicles are allowed on these roads so the best way to explore them is by bike On Your Own. You can either take your bike or rent one from one of the bike shops in Bal Harbor (click to request info).

However, no tour can be done on these roads without a good map; and the nps website has a pretty handy one which I added here and you can download it for free from their website.

As you see from the map, these roads have no names, but each junction is numbered and you can use these numbers as your navigation guide; and they are well signposted in all the roads. Sure thing you can combine any number of roads as you desire according to your time, but in this blog, I designed a particular combination that allowed me to explore the majestic lakes of Acadia NP. This tour is, in total, a 16.4-mile loop and takes around 4-5 hours to complete depending on how many stops you’ll make, which I assure you will be many:) So lets begin!

I rented the bike from Bal Harbor and parked my car there and drove the bike on Duck Brook road till I reached junction #5 which was my starting point.

I first wanted to explore Witch Hole pond so rode my bike from junction #5 to junctions #3, #2 & #4; a total of 2.3 miles. Witch Hole pond is a nice small pond in very peaceful surroundings that will give you a hint of what to come!

During this first part, I passed under some of the stone bridges, and if you are an engineer like me, you’ll truly admire them:)

I was almost alone the entire time which gave me an extra feeling of being a true explorer:)

From junction #4, ride 1.1mi to junction #6 and start the Eagle Lake loop. The start of this loop is from junction #9 which is right after #6 and I rode till junction #7. Eagle lake is out-of-this-world! The serenity in the area, the views, the crystal clear waters, and the pure sunlight makes you feel in heaven…so take your time, get off your bike, and enjoy it to the max.

Along the road there will be small beaches at which you can stop and relax.

Now the adrenaline will be kicking; and the beauty of these carriage roads will make you want to explore further; so gather your stamina and paddle 3.1mi to junction #17. On this leg you’ll bike more on a trail in the forest rather than a carriage road which is a fun experience.

 

Now it is time to go to another magnificent pond which is Jordan pond. From junction #17 bike towards junction #16 for 1.3 miles then onto junctions #15 & #14 which are right after #16. From junction #14, you’ll paddle 2 miles to junction #10 which is the toughest part of the tour as it is an uphill road.

Unlike Eagle Lake, you’ll not be riding next to Jordan Pond, instead the road will give you stunning views of its pure blue water from above.

Take your time, have a picnic, and enjoy the views as after reaching junction #10 you’ll start heading back to your exit. From junction #10, bike 1.9 miles to junction #9 which will take you on the other side of Eagle Lake; and yet more amazing views and absolute serenity.

From here, the end of the tour will be looming, so bike to junction #4 for 1.1mi, then back to your starting point at junction #5 after 1 mile.

I hope you’ll enjoy this tour as I did as these carriage roads are a unique feature of Acadia NP that you’ll not find in any other park around the country…Enjoy!
Beach Mountain Loop (Acadia NP)

Beach Mountain Loop (Acadia NP)

Beach Mountain Loop (Acadia NP)

The Beach Mountain Loop is a short hike, yet it offers unparalleled views of the unspoiled landscape of New England, especially at sunset. The total length of this loop is 1.3 miles and takes you up Beach mountain at 839 ft in an hour.

The access to the trailhead is not via the Park Loop Road, but you’ve to enter the park via road 233 and drive on Beach Hill Road till you reach the parking lot (click to request info).

The trailhead is right across the parking lot and the trail itself starts in the forest on the trademark rocky terrain of Acadia NP.

After 0.1mi, the trail will fork to form the loop, so it is recommended to take the south trail (on your left) while ascending as it is less steep. After 0.8mi, around 30 minutes, you’ll get above treeline and the panoramic 360 views will unfold all around you! Try to time your ascent to the summit around the sunset for unforgettable experience. So, sit back and enjoy the views and take lots of pictures and try to capture the perfect sunset.

Don’t forget yourself in this serene beautiful landscape as you still want to hike down before dark. This time, take the north trail and it’ll be only 0.5mi till the parking lot.

Acadia National Park

Acadia National Park is the only national park in Maine and entire the New England region. Although it is one of the smallest parks in the US, Acadia NP boasts stunning natural beauty of the highest rocky headlands along the US Atlantic coastline.

With 158 miles of hiking trails and 45 miles of carriage roads, Acadia NP offers an abundance of adventure opportunities that will take you to stunning coastlines and picturesque lakes through some of the toughest hiking trails in the country.

You can spend months here without getting enough of this amazing park; however, during my adventure, I did two day hike loops and a bike tour, On My Own, that captivated me and made me fall in love with this park. So get ready and explore with me these amazing adventures.

The Bowl Loop via Beehive Trail (Acadia NP)

The Bowl Loop via Beehive Trail (Acadia NP)

The Bowl Loop via Beehive Trail (Acadia NP)

Before I visited Acadia NP I read about how scary and tough the Beehive trail is and how some hikers are not able to do it, not because it is tough as much as it is scary, but I said to myself…how scary can it be…it is not a high elevation park! Guess what…It is absolutely scary!

This loop is one of the must-do hikes in Acadia NP as it combines beautiful coastline hiking with forests, cliffs and mountain hiking; and rewards you with stunning views and picturesque lakes. The hike, as most in the US, can be easily done On Your Own, but before venturing into this adventure, you’ve to be armed with a good map, not necessarily a topographic one though (click to request info).

To make this a loop hike, drive on the Park Loop Road and park your car at (click to request info) as you’ll return back to the same spot. This loop combines sections of several trails in an amazing adventure, so let us begin!

In the first part of this loop you’ll hike on the Ocean Path Trail from the parking lot. The trailhead itself is 0.3mi from the parking lot and you’ll walk a bit along the road so be careful. The Ocean Path Trail is a flat rocky trail that hugs the rugged Main coastline. It’ll be a nice introduction to this park as it gives you a glimpse of the views here and an idea about the terrain. Part of the path is shaded in the forests while on some sections you’ll rock scramble along the coast.

After 2.1 miles you’ll reach Sand Beach. At this point, to continue your loop, you’ll have to cross the road again and walk 0.2 miles till you reach The Bowl Trail trailhead. Starting from this point you’ll be hiking up the cliffs and the stunning views will start unveiling themselves to you.

You can take this trail all the way to The Bowl pond, but this isn’t the adventurous way! After only 0.2 miles you’ll find a junction with the Beehive Trail on your right, so follow this trail & be ready for what is coming next:)

For me the Beehive Trail isn’t a hiking trail, it is almost a climbing one! There are even ladders and iron rings installed in some sections to help you to navigate your way up.

From here, my advice to you… “Don’t Look Down” because it is scary! The trail becomes really physically challenging and it’ll take its toll on you, but you’ve to stay strong and take your time because any slip could be fatal.

I’ve to admit, I hiked a lot of trails across the country and some are famous for their difficulty, but the Beehive Trail is a different animal!! It is tough, narrow, high, slippery, and scary; and the views around you will not do you any favors as they’ll continuously distract you. At some sections I couldn’t believe that I’ve to hike that path!! It becomes very narrow and right on the edge with nothing to hold on to!! Yes, it is scary but doable and, believe me, fun. I tried my best to take a picture of myself on this section, but as you can see, I failed because the trail is so narrow and my body is hiding it.

After this hair-rising adventure, the trail will start to widen and in 0.4mi you’ll reach the Beehive rock and be rewarded with amazing views.

 

So time for a well-deserved rest, recharge and take lots of amazing pictures.

After taking your rest continue of the Beehive Trail for 0.2mi till you reach The Bowl pond. This is a very picturesque little pond on the top of the hills and in the middle of the lush green forest…Stunning! 

What tops these stunning views is that you can swim in the pond; however, beware that the water might be very cold; I was there in May and it was freezing, but honestly the adrenaline from the Beehive Trail was still pumping so I had a blast:) Yes, I did feel cold after I was done swimming and you can tell from the next picture as I started layering up:)

When you are ready to continue, take the Bowl South Ridge Trail for 0.2mi after which you’ll connect with the Gorham Mountain Trail. This is a rocky trail (all of the are actually) that will take you to the summit of Gorham mountain at 525ft. It is an easy climb with stunning views in a very peaceful environment.

From here, the rest of the loop will be downhill and start descending via the Gorham Mountain trail for 0.4mi. At this point there is a detour to Cadillac Cliffs Trail. This trail venture away from the Gorham Mountain Trail cutting into the rocks; and then rejoins it after 0.3mi. I highly recommend taking this detour as this trail is an adventure in itself and doesn’t add mileage to the loop. The Cadillac Cliffs Trail will take you through rock tunnels and high cliffs and it is a nice last adrenaline kick before you finish your hike.

 

After rejoining Gorham Mountain trail, it’ll only be 0.2mi till you reach your car…so Congrats, You Made It!!!

This has been one of my most memorable hikes and is a must-do in Acadia NP; and in total it is 5.4mi and should take you around 3-4 hours with stops.
Cenote Chaok Tun

Cenote Chaok Tun

Cenote Chaok Tun

A cenote is a natural sinkhole created when cave ceilings collapse, and the Yucatan peninsula is full of them! There are over 5,000 cenotes in the Yucatan peninsula and swimming in one of them is an out of this world adventure.

I did my research before I arrived in Mexico and I decided to go to cenote Chaok Tun for various reasons: 1) It has an extensive network of underground rivers in which you can swim & snorkel; 2) it has amazing rock formations; 3) it is off-the-beaten path; and 4) it is easily accessible On Your Own from Playa del Carmen & Cancun.

Going to the cenote from Cancun you’ll first have to reach Playa which is easy & straightforward. You can either take one of the many scheduled buses that serves this route, or, I think by now you know my favorite transportation mode in Mexico, by a collective:) Not only it is cheaper to take the collective, it is more flexible and faster, so hop into one of those heading to Playa. From Playa, the only option to go to the cenote is by taxi, but be aware that not all taxi drivers will know where it is so you’ve to know you directions and the different landmarks on the road (click to request info). Expect to pay around 100-120 MXP for a one-way trip, but you can use your haggling skills and lower the price. Also, it is best if you agree with the driver to wait for you and take you back to Playa as there is no transportation at the cenote & your only option will be hitchhiking.

The road to the cenote is a gravel road that is totally a road to nowhere:) 

And when I arrived at the cenote, there was only one other couple there, so I literally had it all to myself:)

The entrance ticket to the cenote is a bit expensive, but totally worth it, so don’t hesitate. Before you start your adventure, you’ll have to put on your swimwear and there are lockers at the entrance in which you can store your stuff. From the entrance, you’ll hike down on a wooden path surrounded by amazing rock formations 

After 10-15 minutes, you’ll reach the hole in the ground that gives the cenote its name and the reflection of the sun rays on the rocks and the crystal clear water is amazing

Now it is time for the adventure, so get ready & plunge into the water 

You’ll be On Your Own and will have to navigate between the different chambers through narrow passageways; which is a bit scary to be honest:) 

The water is so clear and cool that you’ll never want to get out; so take your time and explore the entire cenote because it is once in a lifetime experience!

Coba (Climbing an ancient Pyramid)

After visiting Chichen Itza, you’ll be thirsty for an adventure and wonder if you can add a historical twist to it?! You got what you asked for! What is more adventurous than climbing one of the ancient Mayan pyramids and have unforgettable views of the lush jungle from top!

Few people even know that there is a pyramid, only 1 pyramid, that they can climb all the way to the top “legally” without breaking any rules, and this pyramid is in Coba! Coba is off-the-beaten-path and no tour buses go there, so it is preserved for the adventurous spirits like us:) This means that going there On Your Own is a bit of a challenge, but totally doable via collectivos, of course:) Now, since you became familiar with the collective system in Mexico, take one of those fun local rides heading to Tulum. Although the collective will take you to the center of Tulum, Coba is still some 30-45 minute drive from there, and unfortunately no collectivos go there which leaves you with only 1 option: Taxi. In Tulum there is a designated stop for taxis heading to Coba so this should be your destination (click to request info). Expect to haggle the price a lot as the initial quoted price will be extremely high; and you can meet other adventurers and share the cost together. When I went there, there was only 1 American/British couple heading to Coba and we ended up sharing the ride and spending the entire day together…lots of fun!! For me this is the beauty of traveling On Your Own as you’ll be able to meet like-minded adventurers like you.

Arriving at Coba, you’ll instantly realize that you ventured to a place few people go to & it is an amazing feeling; so pay your entrance ticket & start your adventure! 

Coba is a site that houses a number of archeological monuments including pyramids, but only 1 can be climbed. The first thing you’ll see after entering the site is a perfectly-preserved pyramid with immaculate details that will amaze you 

Continue hiking inwards on the single trail and you’ll find a picturesque ancient hut which will take you back to the Mayan’s time

By now the adrenaline will be kicking as you want to climb to the top of the pyramids, but Coba, itself, is still 2km away. You can hike there, but to make your trip more fun, rent a bike and paddle your way instead! There is a bike rental kiosk just after the hut, so grab a bike and paddle your way to Coba. The path is flat and its all in the shade, so the ride is easy & fun.

Reaching Coba, you’ll find a perfectly-preserved tall pyramid towering above the trees and you’ll find few people who already started their climb.

The climb is steep and in the scorching sun, you’ll be sweating with every step you take, but it is fun & well worth it

Reaching the top is an unbelievable feeling! Not only will you be on top of a Mayan pyramid, but also on top of the dense green jungle with amazing views

& time for some fun-posing pictures:)

When ready, it’ll be time to go down. It is a bit steep, but there is a rope in the middle to which you can hang on, if needed. 

You’ve now achieved your goal and climbed an ancient Mayan pyramid that few people know it exists! So grab your bike and head back to the gate.

By now you might start realizing that there is no ride back waiting for you and after the excitement of your achievement fades, you’ll start wondering how will you go back?! But don’t worry, there is a bus that can take you back, but it only comes once/day, so make sure that you timed your exit right (click to request info).

One final tip: give yourself an hour before the bus arrives and enjoy a local beer by the picturesque lake at the entrance…Cheers!
