Zion National Park Tour Highlights

• Visit the Emerald Pools – You’ll find Zion’s fabled Emerald Pools to be as accessible as they are enchanting. From scenic rest stops to sublime swim spots, this is one of the park’s most best-loved locations. There are 3 main pools to be found amongst the ferns and cotton wood trees.
• Hike to Angels Landing – This trail, with a series of superbly named switchbacks (Walter’s Wiggles) has to be up there with the best of them. The last stretch from Scout Lookout to the summit of Angels Landing is truly a breathtaking adventure.
• Hike the The Narrows – Aptly named but none the less a surprise, the Zion Narrows present just over 15 miles of carved sandstone walls that stretch towards a thin ribbon of blue sky some 2000 feet up. Chances of getting wet feet are pretty much par for the course!
• Horseback riding – Zion National Park hikes are one thing but the chance to explore on horseback presents another sort of fantasy altogether. Imagine following a trail through steep sandstone walls before appearing at a hidden grotto, to alight and refill your water canteen.
• Cool off in the Virgin River – If you don’t mind getting wet then undoubtedly the best means of staying cool in the summer is to get kitted out with a pair of old trainers, a swim suit and waterproof sunscreen before jumping on-board an inflatable tube and floating down the Virgin River. Fast-flowing rapids and lazy old meandering means that tubing in Zion is the only way to travel.
