Snow Canyon Private Day Hike
Day Hike Tours
4-6 Hours 6MI / 9.7KM
Trip Highlights
It’s not technically in Zion National Park, but Snow Canyon is nearly as spectacular and well worth a day to hike and explore its stunning scenery! Snow Canyon State Park is sits outside St George in the heart of Utah’s red rock country. With wonderful winter and shoulder season temperatures, amazing scenery and fascinating natural and cultural history, this is a must-see if you’re going to be in the area. Our hike takes us past towering cliffs, into deep canyons, and by views of ancient lava flows. And all the while we’re hiking through land rich with wonderful cultural history!

2 months agoA great day
This was an add on trip to the Inn Based Utah National Parks trip. We had our same guide, Beau DeMello, and he was great. Since there were just three of us family members on the Snow Canyon day hike, he tailored it to us. At the end, he kindly took us to the Botanical Gardens, too, and gave us a mini tour there. Great day. My brother loved scrambling around in the lava tube with Beau!

Connie was the perfect guide and Snow Canyon was an excellent add-on to our Zion/ Bryce trip. Her geological knowledge was at just the right level too- made the whole experience even better without overwhelming us with info and instead increasing our appreciation of the experience. We would definitely want her as a guide again!

Connie was an amazing guide for our Snow Canyon add-on day trip. She took care of all the details so we didn't have to think about a thing. It was a perfect day!
