These trips take you on the best of the best trails, then take you back to a scenic and wonderful campground, or lodge-based accommodation. One of the best things about going with a guiding company is that all of the permits, accommodations, and planning is provided, giving you the opportunity to enjoy your vacation without stress, and letting you absorb as much of the parks and interpretation as possible.

Angels Landing Day Hike Tours (Permits Included)

 CANYONEERING TOURS

The Zion area is full of slot canyons that are begging to be explored. Canyoneering is using ropes and rappels to travel through these tight slot canyons. There are many guiding companies in the Zion area that offer canyoneering trips for all ages and levels of experience and interest. Most have beginner courses, that cater to those who have never been canyoneering before; intermediate courses, for those who desire a more challenging course; and advanced courses, for high-adventure, adrenaline-seeking participants.

 ROCK CLIMBING TRIPS

Look on the sandstone cliffs anywhere in Zion National Park and you may be able to see the small, colorful spot of a rock climber. The sheer walls of Zion make for incredible climbing routes. There are many guiding companies that offer rock climbing trips in Zion. Trips can either be private or with a group, and are all led by an experienced rock climbing professional. On a guided trip, all gear, including harnesses, helmets, ropes and rappel devices are provided, and ensure safety. Some companies offer multi-day rock climbing trips, in which all permits (required for overnight bivouac climbing trips) are taken care of for you.

If you want to experience the majesty of Zion National Park from above, and develop an up close and personal relationship with the sandstone cliffs, a rock climbing trip is the best option for you.

 BICYCLE TOURS

Imagine biking through the red and white sandstone of Zion and the surrounding area; feel the wind whip past you as you speed up and down along the rolling rocks.
