"A water-based, advanced route through the Virgin River that is best suited for older children, this hike often starts at the Temple of Sinawava via the Riverside Walk and requires wading or even swimming as you head upstream; it can be prone to flash floods, but when conditions are safe families have unforgettable experiences—one parent recalled her 14- and 11-year-old daughters sometimes swimming with water above their waists and laughing as their voices echoed through the majestic canyon." - Amiee White Beazley Amiee White Beazley Amiee White Beazley is a travel journalist and author who covers adventure, food, wine, and family travel.
