Much longer hikes are located in the Zion Wilderness. These are not loop hikes. Most day hikers will hike out and back the same way. Hikers do not need to travel the full distance, they can turn around at any point and return the way they came. The group size limit for all Zion Wilderness trails, including the Virgin River Narrows beyond the junction with Orderville Canyon, is 12 people.
