WELCOME!

In the heart of desert slot canyon territory in southwestern Utah is my favorite place on the planet: Zion National Park. While Zion is fairly small compared to other national parks, it has an abundance of hiking opportunities through much diverse terrain. From arid desert sections to breathtakingly majestic viewpoints to lush forests and claustrophobic slot canyons, there is a lot of beauty that most casual visitors never see.

My goal here is to create a long list of interesting possibilities for hikers of all abilities. This site is dedicated to everybody who loves Zion and to everybody who loves to explore the outdoors. It is a labor of love and a never-ending work in progress. My hope is that it inspires you to go out and hike! Enjoy!

LET'S SEE SOME HIKES!
