What To Expect

Zion National Park

Come along with us and explore this historic area! This tour departs from Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort and travels in an off-road vehicle to the the location of the mine. This area is located just outside of Zion National Park and offers sweeping backcountry views of the Narrows, the West Temple, and other prominent National Park landmarks. After arriving at the trailhead, a short 1/4 mile hike past antique mine equipment leads to the mouth of the mine shaft. Enter if you are brave! A short walk into the cave reveals mine cart tracks and the remnants of the historic operation. Be aware that on the way back out, the hike can be quite steep for some travelers. A knowledgeable guide will lead the way and share intriguing information along with fun stories to enjoy. Be sure to wear shoes that can get wet and muddy.

We had so much fun with Loey & Tanner!! We conquered our fears and got down in the mine and Tanner was so great with our mom going down and coming back up the trails!

Amazing guide!! I loved how genuine Loey was about everything, She didn’t feel like a guide at all. It felt like we were just hiking and adventuring with a friend! Super sweet and easy to get along with! My family and I had so much fun exploring the mines! Would definitely come back with friends! My 4 year old nephew had a blast making jokes with Loey! 😆
