We are deeply passionate for the history and landscape of Zion, helping people see another side of the park. All tours are customized, but we typically do a driving tour along with small hikes, or we may add more robust hikes for those who want to go deep. While we do not travel inside Zion, we skirt its edges with access to gorgeous views inside the park. This tour has a minimum requirement of two people.
- Get to know the beauty of Greater Zion without the crowds
- Explore petroglyphs, a ghost town, and stunning vistas
- Learn about the relationship between the Paiute and Mormon settlers of the area
- Each tour is customized to you interests, abilities, and preferences
What To Expect
Smithsonian Butte Back Country Byway
We will begin our journey driving up from Hurricane, UT toward Gooseberry Mesa. Once we turn on to this road we will travel 10 minutes down a 4×4 dirt road to a parking spot. There is about a 15 minute hike on a dirt trail to a petroglyph wall. We will then drive on to Wire Mesa and do another 15-30 minute hike. This is a well established trail and good for beginner hikers. There are epic views of Zion from the Mesa. Excellent for panoramic photography.
