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 Utah Department of Health website.

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!

You need to be able to hike for a full day, carrying a daypack and walking in water, depending on the Zion hiking tour you select. Each day trip, you’ll hike between five and eight hours. The desert terrain can be challenging and the weather unpredictable. That 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:

• 3-litres of water in bottles or hydration badder
• Lightweight hiking boots
• Spare warm clothes
• Wool or fleece top (Spring, Fall, Winter)
• Warm hat and gloves (Spring, Fall, Winter)
• Sunhat
• Compass & map
• Toiletries (sunscreen, hand sanitizer, first aid kit, toilet paper, etc.)
• High quality sunglasses
• Head lantern
• Trekking poles
• Knee braces (if needed)
• Camera — optional (but recommended)

Hiring a local guide offers you the chance to experience Zion’s beauty to the fullest. Local guides know all the hidden gems the area has to offer, will explain the history and geology during the hike, and will transport you to and from the destination. Zion also is known for its share of unexpected flash flooding, but this is exactly why you hired your guide. They will know just what to do if the weather takes a turn or something unexpected happens.

With us, it’s all play and no work for you! 57hours is an open platform that connects you with trained and certified outdoor adventure professionals all over the world. Using our tech-savvy, we make it super easy to find and book adventures worth tackling, with guides worth booking, all gathered from the first-hand experiences of the locals who adventure in these amazing locations.

For this adventure, the max client to guide ratio is 6:1 and cost is per person.

Costs per person will decrease as the group grows for private tours, so it’s the perfect opportunity to go hiking with friends and family.

Tours can be arranged for larger groups. Contact us to make arrangements.

Everybody over the age of 12 is welcome on this hiking adventure. Children five and older are able to join private tours, with final approval and specific logistical requirements on a case by case basis.

Tours are scheduled to fit with Utah’s ideal seasons and hiking conditions. When the weather does not cooperate, your guide will know the correct course of action to take. Whether that’s shifting to a more favorable location or postponing until conditions approve, your guide will know just what to do. In the event of predictably bad weather, you will be contacted prior to the trip to discuss suitable alternatives.

It’s highly recommended that you cover all your bases with travel and medical insurance. While hiking might seem like a low-risk outdoor activity, accidents can happen anywhere and we recommend insurance to avoid paying out of pocket for costly medical expenses. And as we’ve recently seen, travel plans can be abruptly halted, so it’s a good idea to have cancellation insurance that also covers lost baggage. It’s tried and tested and it works.

With 57hours, you benefit from both our own cancellation policy as well as that of the individual guiding service that delivers your adventure. All policies regarding cancellation will be clearly laid out by your guide after booking your adventure, but rest assured that our own cancellation policy will work on top of what is provided by your guide.

For this adventure, 57hours offers a Flexible Cancellation Policy, which states:

Flexible: If Client cancels the Booking anytime prior to fourteen (14) calendar days in advance of the trip contemplated by the booking, Client is entitled to a full refund. For cancellations seven (7) to thirteen (13) calendar days in advance, Client is entitled to a credit with that Guide for another identical or substantially similar Booking, or a full refund, minus a One Hundred-Fifty Dollar ($150) reservation fee.
