Thanks, was coming here to ask about the front page picture. Wow, what a shame, I've been to Zion but didn't hike this place :(

  Hiking top down is the ideal, but as any description also says, you can head to the busy bottom end and hike up as far as you want. We did it with a discarded stick for support and barefoot. Barefoot hurts, so take wetsuit booties or get your sneakers wet. Doing it without a hiking pole or walking stick is much more difficult and slow. You can generally avoid getting more than knee deep depending on the season, but there can be some surprises - my wife hadn't checked ahead and ended up chest deep at one point. That was funny. It's an interesting experience and worth doing.
