Zion’s nooks and crannies are best experienced through rock climbing and canyoning. Its 124,000 acres of wilderness are interspersed with countless sandstone cliffs soaring into brilliant blue sky and slot canyons snaking beneath the surface. The best thing is, you can experience both in one day! Combine these two exciting activities on an action-packed adventure full of 100 ft (30m) rappels and rewarding single-pitch routes. It’s a mix of scrambling over obstacles, plunging into refreshing canyons and reaching sweeping views of Zion’s peaks. Newcomers can have a crack at the sports, while seasoned climbers and canyoneers get a chance to develop their skills—all with the supervision of the expert guide.

The same goes for more advanced climbers and canyoneers—everything can be adjusted to your skill level and desires.

To get to Zion National Park, most people fly into Las Vegas McCarran International Airport 2.5 hours away from the park. From there, you can rent a car and take a shuttle service to Springdale, Rockville, Virgin, La Verkin, or Hurricane in Utah. Due to National Park restrictions, all climbing and canyoneering trips are located just outside of Zion National Park.
Once you and your guide agree on the details of your itinerary, they will suggest the best place to meet. Your guide can also pick you up at your accommodation in any of the towns listed in the first paragraph. Alternatively, you can simply meet your guide at a designated recreational site, most often it’s Lambs Knoll.
