No Passports, No Shots! Unparalleled Adventure Travel Right Here in the U.S.



Adventure tours in southwest Utah's Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks provide opportunities for hiking through amazing landscapes you won't see anywhere else.

The Zion tours will have you outdoors in a land like no other. Almost barren of trees, the canyons are anything but desolate. The beauty of the land and natural structures intrigues geologists, but is just as fascinating to those of us who never took an interest in science. Glowing spires change colors with the movement of the sun and the canyon walls are natural works of art.

Take a Hike

Hiking in this kind of landscape provides thrilling views that change with every step. One of the more famous stops along the route is Angel's Landing in Zion. We take you right up the 1,208 foot tall rock formation along a trail that was cut into the side of the rock in 1926.

Steep switchbacks along some narrow trails add to the challenge that sets adventure vacations apart from droll bus tours. The hike is a challenge, but guides are always just around the corner with a signature “wow,” like parfaits or iced coffee, just when you need it!

Walk Through Water

The canyon lands are not all rock, though. In Zion Canyon's Narrows, our experienced guides trek right through the river, over the rocky riverbed, and between sheer vertical walls. We plan the trips to ensure that water levels are safe to traverse and we are knowledgeable about the route so there's nothing to fear in this unfamiliar terrain which adds to the sense of achievement that results from outdoor adventure travel.

Relax in Paradise

You'll contrast your full days in nature with cushy evening accommodations selected to echo the beauty and feel of the region. Swim in the pool, sit by the fire, and on some nights, you'll even have a hot tub.

After enjoying dinner and unwinding at the pool, relax under the stars. The elevation and remote location provides for clean air and clear skies making for outstanding stargazing whether you are the “aim the telescope” or “lie on your back in the grass” type of astronomer. Pleasant temperatures make being outdoors in the evenings even more pleasurable as each day of your adventure comes to an end.
