 Zion National Park, famous for its immense canyons
and beautifully sculptured rock formations, has become a favorite with hikers from all over the world. Zion’s 229
square miles of canyon provides endless opportunities for exploring nature and has something to satisfy every hiker,
from the beginner to the most advanced. Whether you choose to take a short nature walk to examine Zion’s unique
ecosystem, or climb to the top of one of Zion’s peaks to take in the view you are sure to agree that there is nothing
else like it. Zion is also known for its deep slot canyons and has become very popular for canyoneering. One of Zion’s
slot canyons, The Narrows, attracts hikers from all around the world and was ranked fifth on National Geographic’s 100
Best Adventures. If you're thinking of trying out canyoneering in Zion, be ready to swim in ice cold water, climb up
and down boulders, scale slick rocks and learn the technical skill of rappelling. You should never enter a semi-technical
or technical canyon without the knowledge and skills needed to safely explore and return. Many technical canyons also
require GPS or excellent map reading skills. If you want to try canyoneering but are not experienced sign up for a
guided canyoneering adventure at Zion Ponderosa.
