East Zion Checkerboard Overlook Jeep Tour

Overview

Our favorite tour to recommend with the most bang for your buck! See two iconic Zion landmarks in a 1 hr rugged Jeep tour. First we wind through the pine forest reaching a stunning view of Checkerboard Mesa. Next onto a rugged descent of several hundred feet into Jolley Gulch where we make our second stop. Here you can take an optional two minute unguided hike to see a top down view of the Jolley Gulch slot canyon that reaches 200 feet down into its narrow canyon walls. We then climb our way out, crossing the the river bed several times as we work our way back on top of the Ponderosa plateau and back home.

Fun short little ride. They take you right up to the edge of the park where you can look down on checker board masa and the East rim hiking trail. The tour guide, Mark, was friendly and knowledgeable!
