It’s a mix of scrambling over obstacles, plunging into refreshing canyons and reaching sweeping views of Zion’s peaks.

Loved to climbing and repelling!!

Great Experience!

Booked this trip during a visit to Zion, and was definitely one of the highlights of the trip. What an amazing experience! Our guide was very patient and engaging throughout the half day trip. I would highly recommend if you want to add a little adventure to your vacation. You repel several times into places you probably would not venture to on your own. Very unique experience and a ton of fun!

Zion National Park canyoneering

Great trip. We did a combo rock climbing and canyoneering day for a family of five with three kids aged 12, 10 and 5. Rock Odysseys was very professional, the trip was well organised and our guide, Zack, was great and really made it a special day for the kids. Excellent all round.

AMAZING experience in Zion National Park

My wife and I booked a combo climb/rappelling trip with Maddie and could not have been happier with the experience. She explained everything to us in detail, was patient and very funny. HIGHLY recommend.

What a great experience and excellent guide!

We had such a fun day, on a private climbing/rappelling combo trip! Our guide Dion was an excellent host, showing us so many fun routes. We felt very safe and encouraged the whole time! Wish we could have spent the whole trip here!!
