3.East Zion Crimson Canyon Hike & UTV Adventure

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,066 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $129

Ride from Orderville through sandy backcountry in a customized UTV, then hike into a private slot canyon near Zion. Your guide helps you climb 8 to 10 foot boulders, explains the canyon’s geology and Native American writings, and takes photos. Small groups are limited to five, with alternate routes used when water or weather makes Crimson Canyon unsafe.

“Beautiful tour. Our original plan to hike one slot canyon had to be cancelled due to recent flash floods, so we instead visited one smaller slot canyon and ventured only so far into the larger canyon. I guess this is common for Aug/Sept- they recommended visiting in the Spring for less of this risk! It was still beautiful and educational! We have beautiful pictures! Be sure to give yourselves 2 hours of driving time if coming from the Springdale area! GPS says 55 mins and we gave ourselves 1.5 hours but arrived ~12 mins late. Luckily, they waited for us!!”
