Canyoneering

IMPORTANT NOTE: - This is one of our most popular experiences and space is limited. - Please schedule your desired date / time in advance.

Canyoneering is the art or activity of exploring a canyon, and generally includes hiking and scrambling and, in some cases may also include rappelling. Zion canyoneering is one of the most exhilarating experiences of any Zion National Park Activities.

For most people the opportunity to go canyoneering in Zion is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Once you've tried it, it’ll be one of your favorite things to do in Zion, becoming a tradition every time you visit.

The term Canyoneering was virtually invented around the Zion National Park area. This region is filled with many slot canyons that have been carved by water and wind. These fluted natural masterpieces are marvelous places to explore and make canyoneering in Zion National Park a bucket list item for many people.

During the daylight hours, the sun reflects off the canyon walls and illuminates down into the deepest recesses of these cavernous rock formations. The red hues of the sandstone in the Zion National Park area make these experiences all the more spectacular. While canyoneering you'll feel as if you are entering another world and, for a while, you will be taken away from thoughts of the every day as you venture with your guide. Zion Ponderosa guests rave about their Zion canyoneering experiences.

As seen in the pricing structure, it is most economical to go with a group. You can choose from a full-day canyoneering experience of eight to nine hours, or a shorter day of five to six hours.  Our walk-in canyoneering experiences are offered in even shorter lengths of time.
