We are The Experts that take our guests beyond the cookie cutter experience. We skip the fluff and head straight up to the rugged wilderness of Smithsonian Butte Road and beyond. We wind our way to the very tip of Gooseberry Mesa known for its world-class mountain biking.

The day of your tour, we will meet you at the Hampton Inn of Springdale, Utah in our safe and spotless custom Jeep. From there we will drive about 10 minutes towards the back country, an area unseen or even known by most of the 4 million visitors to Zion. As we hit the dirt and along the way, your guide will share layers of knowledge about the history, geology, and biology in a way only a “local” could know.

Who has lived here and how did they survive such a harsh environment? Why are these rocks so colorful? What kind of animal scat is that? Can we stop to take a selfie next to that crazy rock formation? We’ll take time for pictures, questions, and breathtaking views as you look out 40 miles upon the horizon. You are our first priority and we will do our best to follow your interests along the way. We take the time and care to do all the little things that add up to the most memorable part of your vacation in Utah. That’s what makes us better than the rest!

How About Some Suggestions for the Remainder of your Zion Vacation? High Adventure Seekers :

– There are a number of outfitters in Springdale that offer equipment rental, technique classes, and guided trips as needed. You should seek the advice and guidance of these experts before jumping into anything. – Zion National Park is known for its world class canyoneering opportunities. There are so many slot canyons and holes to rappel into and hike your way out of. The Subway, Keyhole, and Imlay are three of the most common routes in the area.

– Mountain biking is great around here. In Virgin, Utah there is the Hurricane Cliffs trail system which has some unique scenery. The J.E.M. Trail is probably the most well-known and isn’t crazy technical. Also nearby for more advanced riders is a trail named Guacamole.

– Hiking one of Zion’s most extreme trails is a good way to spend a day as long as you’re prepared physically and with proper supplies. Angels Landing is probably the most popular trail for thrill seekers. Though it isn’t a long hike, you climb 1500 feet in just a couple of miles while crossing some very narrow sections at the end. A chain is all that prevents a fall from either side. Another trail called The Narrows is a route that takes you in the frigid Virgin River for miles and miles. The beauty of 2000 foot sandstone walls rising above you is an experience you’ll never forget. There are two ways to hike this route: From the top down as an overnight hike (back country permit required) or from the bottom of The Temple of Sinawava and back as a day hike.

Casual Adventure Seekers :

If you are looking for a more laid back visit there is still fun to be had. The rangers at the Zion Visitor Center are happy to provide a seasonal newspaper and additional information you might need for planning things within the park boundaries.

– Zion rangers lead many programs about the wildlife, geology, biology, or history of the area. Memorial Day through Labor Day there are family and/or child oriented programs offered at The Nature Center and other locations in the park as well. Check the park newspaper for a schedule.

– During late spring and early summer months you can rent tubes to float the river through the town of Springdale. Later summer months are typically too dry for easy floating.

– There are quite a few easy to moderate hiking trails in Zion National Park. The most popular hikes are Emerald Pools, Riverside Walk, and Weeping Rock. All three of these trails are accessed by the park shuttle generally March – November.

For the Hungry Traveler :

Springdale has a great selection of cafes and restaurants for dining out and most are locally owned. For breakfast, many people enjoy MeMe’s Cafe as they have crepes, parfaits, and other satisfying morning choices. The local favorite for a fresh lunch is Cafe Soleil. Everything served is healthy but hearty. The traditional choice for dinner may be The Bit n’ Spur as they’ve been around forever and often have live music later in the evenings. A newer dinner choice in town is Kings Landing Bistro which features upscale dining in a relaxed setting. To be fair though, there are lots of great places to eat in the area and everything tastes great after a long day of adventure.

We at Zion Country Off-Road Tours thank you for going with the best and supporting our locally owned business! Happy trails!!

ATV Rides Near Zion

Zion ponderosa ranch, zion jeep tours, east zion adventures, atv & jeep adventure tours.

Going on an ATV excursion can be one of the most exciting things you do on your trip to Zion National Park. You can speed along the rough terrain to get your fill of thrills or take in the scenery by slowly tackling the natural obstacles.

There are a wide variety of trails and routes to choose from. While ATV tours are not done directly in Zion National Park, there are many places in the surrounding areas that offer tours. Some of these tours will even run along the perimeter of Zion.

It is important to follow all safety guidelines while participating in ATV rides near Zion. Make sure that everyone in your party meets the requirement for riding and you are supplied the proper gear. ATV rides near Zion National Park can be a fun and safe way to explore.

Types of ATV’s

All terrain vehicles are known for being able to tackle obstacles that most vehicles would not be able to. Their unique design means you can conquer many rock and land formations without getting yourself into a bad situation. There are a few different types of ATVs that can be used for exploring through ATV rides near Zion. It is a good idea to research the different vehicles to decide which will work best for you. Consider your group members and the areas you would like to visit when choosing an ATV for your trip!

Quad or four-wheeler

These are the most common ATVs and are what most people think of when they picture an ATV. Popular among many groups of people, they have a quick learning curve and can be a blast to ride. These vehicles have four wheels with knobby tires which are perfect for gripping a variety of surfaces. They are equipped with a heavy suspension to make your ride less bumpy and more comfortable. Most quads can seat 2 people so it is possible to bring along a passenger. The safe design and comfortable ride of quads make them a great way to explore near Zion.

Utility Task Vehicle (UTV)

UTVs, or Utility Task Vehicles, have been gaining popularity in recent years. Originally, these vehicles were used for performing tasks on farms or other large land lots. They are often called side-by-sides and range from vehicles that look like miniature trucks to ones that resemble dune buggies. UTVs have come a long way from hauling horse feed. Most are equipped with comfortable bucket seats and five point harnesses for safety. The have knobby tires like a quad to give you great traction. UTVs feature a heavy roll bar to give you more protection than a quad. They are a terrific choice when riding in larger parties whether you want to take things slow or rip through the terrain.

Trike or three-wheeler

Less commonly used than quads or ATVs, three-wheelers, or trikes, are another option for exploring the landscape. Some rental companies carry trikes if they are the vehicle that you would prefer to use. The reason trikes are used infrequently is their safety issues. Trikes are more likely to tip or be used improperly which can cause injury. If you are a skilled trike rider and enjoy the thrill, this option is a great one. However, if you prefer a leisurely ride along the terrain a quad or UTV should be considered.

Rules and regulations

As with any activity, it is very important to follow the specific rules and regulations for ATV rides near Zion. These rules should be explained to you by the ATV rental company and, often, you must sign a waiver stating that you understand the rules. It is very important to stay off private land and protected areas. If you find yourself wandering into an area that you think you shouldn't be in, play it safe and turn back. There are many areas near Zion that have protected wildlife, vegetation, and land formations. If you were to destroy these features with an ATV it could be devastating to the ecosystem. Always stick to the marked routes. Another regulation to be aware of is only adults 18-years-old and older can operate ATVs. By limiting their use to only adults the risk of serious injury from user error decreases greatly. Most rental companies will provide a tour guide to ensure you follow these rules and regulations while still having a great time.

When to ride

Summer, spring, and fall are the ideal seasons to go on ATV rides near Zion National Park. Although some rentals are available year-round, winter could prove to be quite miserable. Between the icy conditions and the biting cold, we recommend sticking with warmer months to get a great ATV experience. In summer, though the temperature can soar, the breeze created as you speed along will be refreshing and keep you from feeling too hot. You’ll be less likely to get rained out during the summer as well. Remember to bring lots of water and check that no one in your party is feeling overheated. ATV riding near Zion National Park in the spring allows for leisurely rides in comfortable temperatures. Since this is around the rainy season, you may get to splash along in some higher waters to add to the ATV experience. You are also more likely to ride alongside some of Zion’s most interesting wildlife and blooming flora. Fall ATV rides are a beautiful and unique experience. As the seasons change, the landscape becomes even more stunning. As you ride to different vantage points you will have photography opportunities that many can only dream of. The temperature is comfortable and the overall weather conditions are generally favorable.

What you’ll need

Obviously, you will need a reliable vehicle to explore on. The best way to do this is to rent an ATV from one of many companies in the area. They will ensure that the equipment is up to the task and is mechanically sound.

Helmet, goggles, and gloves

Most rental companies will have these essential items available as well. The use of these articles is a matter of safety and they are not optional. By using this safety gear your ride can be fun and worry-free.

Appropriate clothing and footwear

Sweatpants just won't cut it. You will need to wear heavyweight pants, a shirt that covers you, and tough, fully enclosed shoes or boots. Rocks and debris may fly up during your ride. If you have on lightweight clothing the likelihood that you will be injured increases. Additionally, clothing should fit close to the body so that loose fabric doesn't get caught on the equipment or the obstacles you are riding on.

Food and water

Bringing along food and water is especially important during hot months and long rides. To keep hydrated you will want separate water for everyone in your party. Take care to fit in water breaks as you ride. A light snack will also come in handy during longer rides to ward off hunger and lightheadedness caused by overexertion.

Riding partner or group

The fun of ATV riding near Zion is best enjoyed in the company of good friends and family. While exploring on your own can be exciting, the true magic happens when you share the views and obstacles with others. Whether you bring along a small group or an entire convoy, we guarantee you’ll have a blast when surrounded by the ones you love.

Guided tours

When ATV riding near Zion, a guided tour is a great way to explore. These tour guides are familiar with the routes and areas and can give you the most out of your trip. Whether you want a fast-paced, adrenaline-pumping tour or a slower, scenic drive your tour guide will know how to deliver. Your guide will take you to certain stops that are best for viewing the landscape and various rock formations. This allows you to get the best pictures and create the best memories possible. If driving isn't your style, you can even go on tours where your guide is the driver. You’ll be able to ride along as a passenger, usually in a UTV, and take in all the sights without the worry of making a driving error. The different options of guided tours mean there is something for everyone to enjoy.

Get out and ride

Going on an ATV tour near Zion is an excellent adventure for so many reasons. Riding ATVs allows you to take in the scenery without extreme physical stress. You can choose to take an ATV tour to give yourself a break from the more strenuous activities available in Zion National Park. Enjoy as much time as you like exploring the Zion area on a vehicle that can handle anything the terrain has throws its way.

What's so great about that arch on Utah license plates? See for yourself in Arches National Park.

Travel tips

Before throwing your hiking shoes and sunhat into your carry-on, take care of a few details.

• Buy an America the Beautiful park pass; the $80 fee covers entrance to all the national parks, saving you some cash for souvenir T-shirts. Get your pass through the National Park Service .
• Make park reservations. Arches requires a timed-entry ticket from April through October; visit Recreation.gov to make your vehicle reservation. Some hikes in Zion have a permit lottery; sign up at Recreation.gov . 
• April to October is peak season: Make camping or hotel reservations well in advance.
• Check the weather . It gets HOT during the summer months; pack appropriate clothing, sturdy footwear, reusable water bottles and plenty of sunscreen.
• Plan to start your days early. Most people visit the park between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.; go during the off hours for cooler temps and fewer crowds. Plus, the lighting is better for your Insta pics.
• Remember, you can come back! It’s impossible to hike every trail in one park in just a day or two, let alone all five. So plan what you can reasonably do this time around. And don’t worry, the scenery has been around for thousands of years, it’ll be here for you next time.

Accommodations

You can experience the outdoor wonders in three ways: fully immersive, semi-immersive and I-need-a-good-night’s-sleep immersive. If you want the deep dive experience — dirt in your shoes, campfire smell in your clothes — you can set up a tent in or near the national parks.

If you want to dip your toes in the wilderness but still want a mattress, consider renting an RV, campervan or camper trailer . But, if you’re more of a hot shower, hot tub kind of traveler, there are hotels and cabins , either inside the parks or in nearby towns. Can’t decide? Try glamping , camping-like lodging with some luxury hotel amenities.

Arrivals and Departures

The national parks are located in the southern half of Utah, so the two closest international airports are in Salt Lake City and Las Vegas. Plan your travel as a round trip, or fly into one city and leave from the other. Pick up your rental vehicle and let your Utah national parks road trip begin.

Introduce yourself to Zion along the Riverside Walk.

Day One: Airport to Zion National Park

• Salt Lake City to Zion: 313 miles, 4.5 hours
• Las Vegas to Zion: 168 miles, 3 hours
• Lodging: Camping (spots inside the park fill quickly), hotels, bed-and-breakfasts, glamping

We suggest starting your Utah national parks road trip at Zion , when your legs are the freshest; there are some serious hikes here. In fact, there are so many swoon-worthy hikes at this park, it’s hard to choose just one. Or two. Or three. There’s a reason Zion sees some 5 million visitors every year. Plan on spending at least two days, if you can, to soak up all the scenery. And hey, if you decide to stay even longer, we totally get it.

Temple of Sinawava

After checking into your accommodations, head over to the park to stretch your legs on a warmup hike. Catch a free shuttle at the Visitor Center; it travels the length of Canyon Scenic Drive, with stops at the Zion Lodge and the trailheads.

Stay on until the last stop, Temple of Sinawava, and take the Riverside Walk for the perfect introduction to the park. The paved, 2-mile (round trip) walk takes you along the Virgin River and into a canyon. You’ll see hanging gardens, weeping walls and maybe some wildlife.

This trail ends where the Narrows hike begins. If it’s open and you have sturdy shoes, step into the river and walk the first portion of the hike. Be sure to give yourself plenty of time to catch the shuttle back or you’ll be walking an extra nine miles. Fuel up for tomorrow at one of Springdale’s many eateries.

• Grilled grub: Camp Outpost, Whiptail Grill
• Fancy fixin’s: Spotted Dog, King’s Landing Bistro
• Family fare: Zion Pizza & Noodle, Porter’s

Get the best view in Zion National Park from Angels Landing.

Day Two: Zion

If you can get a permit, hike Angels Landing . It has a lot of uphill, steep switchbacks and some sheer drop-offs, but the view of the canyon from way up there? Matchless. Plan on taking several hours for the 5-mile hike. Pack a lunch to enjoy at the top; it’s definitely a better view than any rooftop restaurant can offer. Be sure to pack out all your trash. Register for permits with the National P ark Service .

If you didn’t get a permit, there are plenty of other (and easier) hikes . We recommend Emerald Pools . You’ll see three natural ponds and some waterfalls, separated by a short climb through desert vegetation. The lower pool is a fairly easy hike; it’s a bit more work to get to the other two, but the trail is easy to follow. At the upper pool, cool off in the grotto surrounded by enormous, weeping rock walls.

If you still have some energy, you may want to try another short but noteworthy hike . When you're properly worn out for the day, head back to Springdale for dinner, then maybe catch a show at the Bumbleberry Inn .

Day Three: Zion to Bryce Canyon

• Zion to Bryce: 2 hours, 84 miles
• Lodging : Campgrounds, cabins, B&Bs, glamping

Next stop, Bryce Canyon . Drive back into Zion, heading east on scenic Highway 9 toward Mt. Carmel. You’ll drive through the mile-long Zion-Mt. Carmel tunnel. In addition to gaining a mad respect for 1920s sandstone blasters, you may catch a glimpse of some bighorn sheep through the built-in windows.

Make one last stop before you leave the area: Checkerboard Mesa . Imagine a giant sat down to do his math homework and got a bit carried away drawing lines. Then, on to Bryce.

Note: Oversize vehicles, such as RVs, are only allowed through the tunnel during limited hours and must pay an additional fee. Read more about restrictions at the National Park Service .

Walk among sandstone towers in Bryce Canyon.

Bryce is Nice

Remember when you tried to make an epic sandcastle? Well, Bryce Canyon did it first. See an entire valley of the tallest, coolest, colorfulest hoodoos on a walk from Sunset Point to Sunrise Point. 

If your legs are still a bit wobbly from Zion, take the Mossy Cave Trail , an easy 1-mile round trip among the spires. Another option is the Bristlecone Loop Trail , which will give you a bird’s-eye view. A little more challenging, the Navajo Loop is the most popular trail in the park; you’ll descend 800 feet into the heart of the hoodoos.

Got more stamina than that bighorn sheep you saw on the drive over? Try the 8.3-mile Fairyland Loop . You’ll hike down into the pink and white canyons, see natural amphitheaters and be surrounded by hoodoos. No need for wings, but you may wish you had some.

Park your tired puppies back in the car and head over to the tiny town of Tropic for some tasty respite. Steaks, house specials, lavender sponge cake and a wine menu await you at Stone Hearth Grille . For more casual fare, stay in Bryce Canyon City for Ruby’s Inn Cowboy’s Buffet and Steak Room .

Day Four: Canyonlands

• Bryce to Canyonlands: 4 hours 20 minutes, 256 miles
• Lodging : camping, hotels, cabins, glamping

Are you ready to mumble? Under your breath in awe, that is. Definitely not because your quads and hammies are jiggly; they can rest on the drive. Pull out our map of Utah national parks and head toward Moab. It’s the home base for Canyonlands and Arches.

Where Bryce seems like fine handiwork, Canyonlands was made with broader strokes. Get an overview of Utah’s largest national park from the Grand View Overlook . The easy hike takes you up a 1-mile sandstone stairway — to heaven? Just about. It ends at a mesa with an unobstructed view of Monument Basin. Be aware, while the path is wide, there are sheer cliffs.

Catch a perfectly framed sunrise at Mesa Arch.

Mesa Arch is another sweet spot for sweeping vistas, evident by the dozens of photographers shooting here at sunrise. The 27-foot long arch is so obliging, it perfectly frames your photos of the La Sal mountains. It’s worth squeezing into your day no matter the hour, since the trail is only 0.6 miles round trip. Hint: Walk to the arch clockwise, then retrace your steps back to avoid some of the stone steps.

If you’re visiting Canyonlands in the spring or winter, consider hiking the Confluence Overlook Trail , a moderate, 11-mile round trip. You’ll do some scrabbling up and down rocky slopes but it’s mostly flat. The payoff is the vista, 1,000 feet above the spot where the Green River and Colorado River come together. We don’t recommend it for a summer’s day; the trail is fully exposed — no shade — and the heat can be brutal.

The Confluence Overlook Trail is long, but the views are unparalleled. Photo by Chad Hurst

Even if you’re camping, head to Moab for some dinner and a casual walk down its charming Main Street. For a small town, there’s a surprisingly large assortment of dining options, from traditional kebabs at Sultan Mediterranean Grill to curry from Thai Bella Moab.

Day Five: Arches

• Canyonlands to Arches: 29 minutes, 26 miles

Just half an hour away from Canyonlands, Arches has mesas, buttes and some wiiiide, gravity defying arches. The most popular — so popular it can be seen on one-third of Utah’s license plates — is Delicate Arch. It’s not an easy hike to see it; there are some steep stretches on the 3-mile trip. But you’ll be rewarded by a magnificent, solitary arch standing in a bowl of sandstone. Wax as poetic as you like, it’ll be fitting.

Visit one of the world's longest natural bridge in Arches.

Actually, rare beauties are a thing for Arches. You’ll understand what we mean when you head over to Landscape Arch ; it’s the fifth longest natural bridge in the world. The slab of rock spans 290 feet, but it is only 18 feet wide. How does it stay up? No idea.

Day Six: Canyonlands or Arches

Have time to stick around for another day? You could take another hike in Arches, or head back to Canyonlands. Or consider some activities nearby such as white-water rafting , kayaking and off-roading . 

Drive on to the town of Torrey, just outside Capitol Reef, for the night so you can get an early start in the morning.

Day Seven: Capitol Reef and Home

Park logistics.

Arches to Capitol Reef: 2 hours, 133 miles

Lodging : camping, glamping, hotels

The final stop on our Utah national park itinerary is Capitol Reef National Park . This compact park is no slouch in rock sculptures, either. 

Reach for the stars at Cassidy Arch, named for a local outlaw.

First hike: A moderate 3.5 mile climb to Cassidy Arch . It’s a big one — standing 400 feet tall. It’s pretty photogenic, too, much like the movie star who played the arch’s namesake, Butch Cassidy. 

Next up, a moderately easy jaunt up to the Hickman Bridge . The 2-mile round trip trek includes fantastic scenery along the way, culminating in not just one, but TWO arches.

Grab a late lunch outside the park at Capitol Burger, a food truck serving gourmet burgers (find its exact location for the day on its Facebook page). Then settle your trail-worn body into your vehicle, crank up the air, choose your playlist and head back to the airport.

Home Logistics

Capitol Reef to Salt Lake City: 3 hours 23 minutes, 218 miles

Capitol Reef to Las Vegas: 5 hours, 327 miles

On the long drive back, make your case for which national park deserves a second, longer look. Utah.com will be here to help you plan your next trip and all your other excursions around our state.
