La Verkin Trip Overview
We have a deep passion for the history of this area. Expect to learn about the natural landscape, but also about the Native American history and the relationship between the Paiute and the Mormon settlers in the late 1800s.
We also customize each tour to the ability of our clients. We can do a primarily driving tour with small hikes or add more robust hikes for those who want to climb hills and get out there.
We help people see another side of Zion National Park without the crowds. We do not travel inside Zion, however we will be surrounded by the park and the views are amazing.
Please note that we have a MINIMUM requirement of 2 people. Thank you.
