What To Expect
The best way to experience Zion National Park! This Zion adventure is private, and as such can be customized to fit your needs. We focus primarily on three trails: West Rim Trail (to Scouts Lookout), Watchman Trail, Emerald Pools Trail. Portions of each of these trails may be combined to create the ultimate Zion experience. When time permits, we love to share some of the other areas of the park including Weeping Rock*, Big Bend, and the Temple of Sinawava. After our day of hiking in the park, we will enjoy a charcuterie board picnic at the Grotto picnic area. Cured Meats, Fruits, Pickled Goods, Cheeses, Spread, Crackers and Nuts. GF/Vegan options available with 48hr advance notice. *As of November 2023, Weeping Rock is closed following a rockfall.

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed our Zion tour with Dayna. She was very friendly, very experienced and knowledgeable, and made this an awesome adventure for us. She adapted to our beginner hiker needs and gave us just the right amount of challenge and fun. And showed to us some fantastic parts of Zion. We really enjoyed our day with her and would highly recommend!
Best way to see Zion National Park!

5.00Hiking as ‘first timers’ in Zion with Michael was amazing! He tailored it to suit us, shared his knowledge and history of the landscape which made it so much more interesting. Picnic lunch was great too! Would thoroughly recommend this and Michael as a guide!!

5.00We had such a great day with Michael as our guide in Zion. He was super easygoing, really knowledgeable, and just genuinely fun to spend time with. It honestly felt more like hiking with a friend than being on a tour. He pointed us to some awesome hikes—Scouts Lookout and Emerald Pools were both highlights—and did a great job making sure everything felt comfortable and at the right pace for us. One of our favorite parts was at the end, when he pulled out this amazing charcuterie board he had packed. Such a great (and delicious) way to wrap up the hike. We spent about six hours with him and would 100% recommend Michael if you’re looking for a laid-back, personalized way to experience Zion.
Awesome tour of the grotto area
