And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I hiked the length of the narrows a bit over fifty years ago. We were told then that someone had counted the stream crossings and totaled it up at about 220. They recommended we not wear our best shoes/boots.
'Stream crossings'--it depends on how high the Virgin River is. At times, there aren't that many crossings. You are mostly just hiking in very cold water. One of the great hikes in our National Parks.
It's a great way to spend a week in the summer. A Sherm said (above), don't wear your good shoes. And maybe pack a spare, second set. But a great hike all the same. You ought to do it with the LT if he has the time.
