Couldn’t disagree more. Went in the middle of summer and found it to be far more awe-inspiring than Angel’s Landing. We didn’t have trouble finding places to stop. It might have been a lower water level for us; it definitely never came up to chest level. I’m of the opinion you were there on a day of near rapid conditions, with high water volume creating dangerous conditions.

On a hot August day the cool water is so refreshing. There is absolutely nothing dangerous about the water flow most of the time. You just have to watch your footing and mind the weather reports.

Glad your experience was better than ours. But it was nothing close to rapids. Just a typical day: The current was never an issue.
It was the treacherous footing and the endless slippery river rocks. It's not that you encounter them occasionally. It's literally every step you take for hours.

The Narrows. Not even once.
