Virgin River Narrows Conditions

处女河变窄条件

The Narrows is a hike through a river. Water levels in the Virgin River Narrows, even when the CFS of the river is low, range from ankle deep to full swims. Most of the time the river is ankle to knee deep, but all top-down hikers should be prepared for deep sections where swimming is required. Even the most experienced hikers occasionally fall in the Virgin River.

“窄谷”这段徒步要穿过河流。即便维琴河的流量（立方英尺/秒）较低，窄谷段的水位也深浅不一，浅时仅及脚踝，深时则需要游过去。多数时候河水在脚踝到膝盖之间，但所有从上往下走的徒步者都得做好准备，应对需要游泳通过的深水段。即便是经验最丰富的徒步者，在维琴河里也难免会摔跤。

The river often closes to hiking during the spring snowmelt (April, May, and can continue into the summer months). The river is closed to hiking during and immediately following Flash Flood Warnings, which are common during the desert monsoon (July-September). Links to the current river flow rate and flash flood potential can be found on our Current Conditions page.

春季融雪期（4月、5月，有时会延续到夏季），这段河道往往会禁止徒步。另外，在沙漠季风季（7到9月），山洪预警期间及预警刚解除时，河道也会关闭。当前的河水流量和山洪风险信息，可在我们的“实时状况”页面查询。

All top-down trips into the Virgin River Narrows are closed when the flow rate of the Virgin River exceeds 120 CFS.

维琴河流量超过120立方英尺/秒时，所有从上至下进入维琴河峡谷的行程均会关闭。

Wilderness permits are not issued during that time. Always have a back-up plan prepared.

这段时间不发放荒野许可证。请务必准备好备选方案。

Route Description

路线描述

The Virgin River has carved a spectacular gorge in the upper reaches of Zion Canyon: 16 miles long, up to 1,000 feet deep, and at times only 30 feet wide. Walking in the shadow of soaring walls, sandstone grottos, natural springs, and hanging gardens can be an unforgettable wilderness experience. It is not, however, a trip to be underestimated. When hiking through the Virgin River Narrows, at least 80% of the route is spent wading, walking, and swimming sections of the river. There is no maintained trail; the river is the route. The river current is swift, the water is cold, and the rocks underfoot are slippery. Flash flooding and hypothermia are constant dangers. Good planning, proper equipment, and sound judgment are essential for a safe and successful trip.

维琴河在锡安峡谷上游冲刷出一条壮观的峡谷：全长16英里，最深处达1000英尺，最窄处仅30英尺。走在高耸的岩壁下，看砂岩洞穴、天然泉眼和悬垂花园，会是一段难忘的荒野体验。但千万别小看这段行程。走维琴河峡谷时，至少80%的路程都得在水里蹚、走，甚至游。这里没有修好的步道，河流本身就是路。水流湍急，河水冰凉，脚下的石头又滑。山洪和体温过低是常年存在的危险。想安全顺利完成这段行程，周密的计划、合适的装备和清醒的判断缺一不可。

Hikers can complete the Virgin River Narrows as a single-day through-hike or as an overnight backpacking trip. Both trips require a Wildness Permit. Visit our Virgin River Narrows Permits page for detailed information.

徒步者可以选择单日走完维琴河峡谷，也可以背包露营分两天完成。两种行程都需要荒野许可证，详情可查看我们的维琴河峡谷许可证页面。

Through Hiking Timetable in Hours

徒步旅行时刻表

This timetable is approximate. The trip may be done in less time, but allowances have been made for rest stops, picture taking, and slow hikers. Track your progress by recognizing side canyons and landmarks. Deep Creek, Kolob Creek, and Big Springs are all obvious, but watch closely for the mouth of Goose Creek, it can be easy to miss.

哈瓦苏派部落的入园费用和预约政策是怎样的？这个时间安排只是个大概。实际走起来可能更快，但已经留出了休息、拍照和迁就走得慢的人的时间。可以通过辨认侧谷和地标来掌握行程进度。深溪、科洛布溪和大泉都很显眼，不过得仔细留意鹅溪的河口，这儿很容易走过头。

Overnight Backpacking Trips

夜间背包旅行

If you plan to complete all 16 miles of the Virgin River Narrows as an overnight backpacking trip, then you will only need to obtain one Wilderness permit for your campsite in the Narrows for the night of your trip.

如果打算用两天时间走完维琴河峡谷这16英里，在峡谷里露营过夜的话，只需要为当晚的营地申请一份荒野许可证就行。

This Wilderness permit will allow your group to start at the Chamberlain's Ranch Trailhead, spend one night in a designated Narrows campsite, and then exit at the Temple of Sinawava the next day.

有了这份荒野许可证，你们一行人就能从张伯伦牧场步道起点出发，在峡谷里指定的露营地过夜，第二天再从西纳瓦瓦神庙离开。

Overnight backpacking is only permitted in designated campsites. There are 12 campsites in the canyon, all are roughly halfway between Chamberlain’s Ranch and the Temple of Sinawava.

只有指定营地才允许过夜露营。峡谷里共有12个营地，位置差不多都在张伯伦牧场和西纳瓦瓦神庙的中间。

All overnight backpackers must begin their trip at Chamberlain’s Ranch and end at Temple of Sinawava.

所有过夜背包客都必须从张伯伦牧场出发，终点为西纳瓦瓦神庙。
