about the Cover
Continuing our tribute to our national parks this Bar year, this issue’s cover features a photo of The Narrows in Zion National Park, Utah. This
gorge has walls a thousand feet high and is one of the favorite hikes in the park. Hikers are urged to check before their trip for appropriate gear
to take or plan to rent in the nearby town of Springdale – especially water-tolerant, rocky riverbed-comfortable shoes. Then, when at the park
and before hiking The Narrows, hikers should check with a park ranger to make sure the river’s depth is predicted to be safe during their hike —
flash flood risk is monitored and regularly reported by the National Park Service. This photo was taken by Bar member Brian Sparks during his
family’s “Great Western Vacation” in July 2011.
