The Gateway - Zion Area

This trail begins next to a small stream and immediately enters into a slot canyon (Water Canyon) where hikers can observe a free-standing arch, sheer cliffs and possibly waterfalls during the spring snow melt. As the trail gains altitude through this water-step passageway toward the top of Canaan Mountain, the scenery changes dramatically to volcanic rock, white sandstone hoodoos and slickrock amongst a pine tree canopy. Upon reaching the top, where we stop to enjoy our lunches, the views of Zion National Park and the surrounding area are spectacular.

This day trip is offered Spring and Fall twice monthly and only for our fittest guests.

What to Bring
Bring plenty of water (100 oz is recommended), a light wind layer, sunscreen, hat, and appropriate clothing and hiking shoes/boots. Please, no open-toed shoes or sandals.
