Zion National Park Hiking Tours

57hours is committed to providing safe outdoor adventure experiences. We require all guides using our platform to have a COVID-19 safety plan and to make the details of that plan accessible to travelers. In most cases, group sizes will be reduced, guides will avoid overcrowded locations, and other safety measures will be met depending on the location and activity.
We also expect clients to respect local regulations and take measures to protect themselves, guides and the communities they’re travelling to. For more information on COVID-19 measures in Zion, please refer to the Zion National Park webpage.
Please contact us if you have any questions or require further information. We are happy to provide you with the most up-to-date information!

To enjoy the trails in Zion National Park need to be able to hike for a full day, carrying a daypack and walking in water, depending on the hiking tours or backpacking trips you select. Each day trip, you’ll hike between five and eight hours. The desert terrain can be challenging and the weather unpredictable. That being said, if you are looking for adventure and up to the task of multiple days of full-day trekking, you’ll be rewarded immensely.

Here’s a list of the equipment you need to bring:

• • Day pack large enough to carry all the items listed (around a 25-40L bag)
  • Hiking poles — optional
  • Water bottle or hydration bladder (2L capacity)
  • Lightweight hiking boots or shoes
  • Spare clothes for layering
  • Waterproof rain jacket
  • Sunhat
  • Toiletries (sunscreen, hand sanitizer, bug spray, toilet paper, etc.)
  • Headlamp or flashlight
  • Sunglasses
  • Camera — optional (but recommended)

Dress comfortably and for the weather in clothes you can move in. We suggest bringing clothing appropriate for the season. Layers are best and don’t wear jeans.

Group sizes and prices:

• • The guest to guide ratio for private hiking tours is usually 6 guests and 1 guide.
  • Pricing is per person, and the cost decreases as your group grows, making it the perfect opportunity to hike with friends and family.

If your hiking party is larger than six people, please contact us prior to booking to make arrangements.

Min. age requirements:

• • Anyone over the age of 12 can join these day-hiking tours
  • Children between the ages of 5 and 12 may join these day-hiking tours, but only on a case-by-case basis

If you plan to hike with anyone under the age of 12, please contact us prior to booking to make arrangements.

To get to Zion National Park, most people fly into McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas. From Las Vegas, which is only three hours away, you can rent a car or take a shuttle service to Zion National Park. The closest commercial flight airport is St. George Regional Airport, only an hour drive away from the Park. From there, you also can take a shuttle to Zion National Park.
Once you and your guide agree on the details of your itinerary, your guide will suggest the best place to meet. You will typically meet your guide at their Zion Rocks and Mountain Guides office (1458 Zion Park Blvd Springdale, UT 84767). Your guide will provide transportation to and from the activities locations if possible. During the summer, the guides utilize the park’s free shuttle system for all trails in the main canyon of Zion.
