Are you looking for adventure in the Zion or Southern Utah area?  Overwhelmed by where to start?  Look no further.  Zion Rock and Mountain Guides is TripOutside’s go-to partner for discovering the beauty of the canyons, rocks and buttes of the American Southwest.  Here’s why!

About the Zion Area

Zion National Park is a spectacular but popular destination with long lines and traffic to prove it. But fortunately, Zion activities don’t end at the Park’s soaring red-and-white cliffs. The entire Zion area is a huge playground with endless opportunities for adventure.  In fact, the areas surrounding Zion National Park have some of the lesser known adventure spots.  These are the areas where Zion Rock and Mountain Guides will take you. 
Guides are not allowed to guide in the National Park, so our recommendation is to explore the Park on your own and let Zion Rock and Mountain plan your canyoneering, rock climbing or biking adventure.  When you have finished hiking Angel’s Landing or The Narrows, Zion Rock and Mountain will guide you on a magical trip to discover the hidden gems far from the crowds.
