On this stargazing experience you will see the Utah Milky Way and learn to recognise familiar patterns in the night sky. Knowledgeable guides will point out constellations as you gaze at the crystal-clear heavens. After a short introduction you’ll have the chance to view stars and deep-sky features through a powerful telescope. Many groups may also spot a shooting star as an extra treat. The viewing area is reached by a short 5–10 minute walk up a soft dirt path with a slight incline. If you cannot complete this walk, please contact us ahead of time so we can plan to transport you to the top. In autumn and winter you should be prepared for cold weather, so bring hats, gloves and a warm coat to stay comfortable while you enjoy the tour.

Enjoy a guided horse ride that shows you Zion National Park from a different viewpoint. You will start with a brief introduction to the horses and get to know their individual personalities as you prepare to ride. Your guide will demonstrate safe handling techniques so you feel comfortable and confident before you set off. The experience is suitable for both beginners and experienced riders. As you move along the trail, it winds up the side of Pine Knoll through a desert forest with a noticeable climb in elevation. The path eventually opens out and you will see sweeping views of Southern Utah and Zion National Park. At the summit there will be a pause to take photographs and take in the scenery. On the way back down the mountain you will hear western stories and learn about the local area and wildlife as you ride.

You’ll take a fast-paced Jeep ride up the mountain to one of the highest viewpoints of East Zion. Along the way, the landscape will change as you climb toward a relaxed stop at the top, where you’ll watch the sun sink behind the cliffs of Zion National Park and light up the sky. Chairs, blankets and snacks are provided so you can sit comfortably and enjoy the view as daylight fades. After the sun has set, you’ll climb back into the Jeep for another thrilling descent that may feel like a scene from an adventure film. The experience is suitable for groups and families of all ages. In the fall and winter months, be prepared for cold weather and make sure you bring hats, gloves and coats to keep warm while you enjoy the tour.

On a rugged Jeep tour through Zion National Park, you will wind through a pine forest and reach a striking view of Checkerboard Mesa. The drive then continues with a rugged descent of several hundred feet into Jolley Gulch, where the vehicle will stop and you can step out to explore the landscape. At Jolley Gulch you may take an optional two-minute unguided hike to a top-down vantage point over a slot canyon that reaches about 200 feet down between its narrow walls. After that you will climb back up, crossing the river bed several times as the route works its way onto the Ponderosa plateau before returning to the starting point. Along the way you will see contrasting forested slopes, dramatic sandstone formations and the narrow, steep-sided character of the gulch.

Kanarraville Falls, near the town of Kanarraville in the New Harmony area of Utah, is a hidden gem tucked into a scenic slot canyon. The hike is a moderately challenging trek of approximately 4.8 miles round trip that has become increasingly popular with outdoor enthusiasts and photographers. Along the way, you will move from open desert terrain into narrower canyon walls that frame the creek and falls. The trail starts at the Kanarra Creek Trailhead and follows dirt paths and rocky sections before narrowing into the canyon. As you move through, the route will lead you to the creek, which you will need to wade through multiple times. The water is typically cool, offering a contrast to the often warm desert temperatures. Expect dramatic canyon views, creekside passages and the photogenic waterfall that gives the hike its name.

You will ride on horseback as the sun sets over the Cliffs of Zion, watching the sky shift to deep oranges and reds above the rock faces. From the back of a horse, the view and the quiet of the landscape will feel different than from the ground. Along the way, the colours of the canyon and the silhouette of the cliffs will be the main focus of the experience. Weather can affect how it feels, so be prepared for cooler temperatures. It may be cold at certain times of the year, so bundling up is advisable to stay comfortable while you enjoy the sunset above the Cliffs of Zion.

Enjoy a professional photo shoot set in unique locations around Zion National Park. The experience will create lasting photo memories from your visit and may take you to undiscovered spots so you get a strong photo story from the park. Each shoot can be tailored to your requirements, and the photographer can travel to a location you choose or suggest a suitable setting for the session. You’ll receive a private online viewing gallery with a set of final images — typically between 20 and 50 photos, the exact number depending on the length of your session (same set of images). The experience suits a wide range of guests: solo travellers, couples, families and groups, hen/bachelorette and stag/bachelor parties, secret proposals or engagements, honeymooners, and both experienced and new influencers or models. Delivery details and any other arrangements will be confirmed when you book.

These small-group stargazing tours take place in one of the most beautiful locations around and are designed to make you feel comfortable and well accommodated.

On the tour you’ll spend time under the stars and have the opportunity to observe celestial sights. What you see will depend on weather and sky conditions, so you may spot bright stars, constellations and other features of the night sky. The small-group setting gives you room to take your time, ask questions and appreciate the surroundings as you look up and explore the heavens.
