Zion Narrows

$325 Day Trip - available Year Round

‍
A truly epic hike. With walls 1000 feet tall, and the river just 20-30 feet wide, the appropriately named Narrows is an off-trail, through the water hike. You will see some of the most spectacular and narrow parts of Zion Canyon, as you walk upstream and back on a slippery uneven river bottom and through sandy alcoves. There are stunning vistas awaiting around every corner.

Conditions: Hiking in river up to your waist or higher in certain sections. Limited sun due to the high canyon walls. Often breezy. Gear: Red Mountain Resort will provide seasonally appropriate gear, dry pants, water shoes and walking pole. Cautions: Bring electronics only if they are waterproof or you have a dry bag to carry them. Distance: 5.5 miles this includes the trip to and from the entry point into the river.

Private Guided Hikes to the Narrows $435, taxes & service charges additional. 48 hour notice required. Taxes and Service charge additional.


Please note that we always prioritize safety. Environmental and weather conditions must be taken seriously. We will cancel our hike if the NPS closes the trail due to high water, unstable ice, seasonal snowmelt, or other dangerous situations. For current park information on the Narrows:

Kanarra Falls Hike

$250, half day trip
‍

A red dirt path winds along the banks of Kanarra Creek and into a stony creek bed. You'll hike in water as the creek meanders into narrowing sandstone walls, eventually becoming a slot canyon. This hike features two waterfalls, many photo opportunities and plenty of time to absorb the beautiful power of nature. The 4.5 mile hike typically takes 3–4 hours to complete, and is not recommended for anyone with poor balance, knee or ankle concerns.

Angels Landing

Half-day Trip, limited trip availability, $295 per person
‍

‍
• Experienced Hikers Only. We have permits for select Tuesday and Saturdays March - October.

Angel's Landing is one of the most iconic trails in Zion National Park and it listed on the National Historic Registry, making it a bucket-list-worthy experience. The trail begins along the Virgin River and follows a well-marked trail into Refrigerator Canyon. The cooling breeze of Refrigerator Canyon will refresh you as you prepare to climb Walter's Wiggles, a steep section of 21 switchbacks named for the first park superintendent who created this iconic trail to the top of Angel's Landing. Prior to this it was said that the area was accessible only by the Angels among us. The real adventure begins at the top of the Wiggles at Scouts Lookout where lucky guests are treated to condors soaring on the winds created by the steep canyon walls. From here, the hike ascends another 0.8 miles to the summit. This last section of trail is known as the Hogs Back and has 1,500 foot drop-offs on both sides. The trail is often only a few feet wide and requires extreme caution. There is a chain securely anchored in place to help guide and assist. Those who have the courage and strength to make it to the summit are rewarded with feelings of accomplishment, joy, and wonder!

This amazing journey only covers 5 miles, round trip. However, that is not indicative of the challenge it creates. The 1,500 foot elevation gain and mandatory attention to detail will challenge even the most seasoned hiker. The Red Mountain guiding team has helped our guests enjoy this empowering adventure for many years. With our professional guidance this day trip will create vacation memories to last a lifetime.

The trail has steep narrow sections and extreme drop-offs. It is for experienced hikers only. Not recommended for anyone with a fear of heights, vertigo, or balance issues. Strong legs, dependable knees, and a sense of adventure are required.
