The route enters Birch Hollow, which progresses from an overgrown trench into a beautiful narrows.

Approaching a dryfall (descent to the left, not a rappel).

First rappel.

Narrows already!

Mini rappels along the way, some of which can be down-climbed.

100ft rappel, the longest all day.

Looking up the 100ft rappel


Another rappel directly after the 100ft one.





The narrows of Birch Hollow ends, meeting at the Orderville Canyon confluence.

Orderville Canyon starts a bit dry and wide.


















A few minor rappels or hand-lines. This one goes directly under a massive boulder chokestone. So cool.






Lots of fun mini waterfalls into water pools













Looking back at the confluence of Orderville Canyon and the Zion Narrows (Virgin River)

The Narrows. We hadn't seen anyone all day until this point.






At the end of The Narrows, starting on the Riverside Walk to get to the shuttle.
