For those of you who've spent time in Zion, and more specifically The Narrows...

Is there a particular time of day that offers the best light, in your experience? I know this is a subjective question, and I am anxious to hear all opinions.

I'll only have a couple of days out there, unfortunately, so the more information I can gather beforehand, the better. Thanks!

Jason, the light moves about the canyon throughout the day and there's always something good. What may not be in good light going in will probably be coming out. It's the nature of these narrow canyons.

What Guy says is true, but keep in mind, that light will penetrate deeper into the canyon towards the middle of the day.
