Zion Backcountry Off-road Hiking and Driving Tour Views & Petroglyphs

Overview

We have a deep passion for the history of this area. Expect to learn about the natural landscape, but also about the Native American history and the relationship between the Paiute and the Mormon settlers in the late 1800s.

We also customize each tour to the ability of our clients. We can do a primarily driving tour with small hikes or add more robust hikes for those who want to climb hills and get out there.

We help people see another side of Zion National Park without the crowds. We do not travel inside Zion, however we will be surrounded by the park and the views are amazing.

Please note that we have a MINIMUM requirement of 2 people. Thank you.

What To Expect

Smithsonian Butte Back Country Byway

We will begin our journey driving up from Hurricane, UT toward Gooseberry Mesa. Once we turn on to this road we will travel 10 minutes down a 4x4 dirt road to a parking spot. There is about a 15 minute hike on a dirt trail to a petroglyph wall. We will then drive on to Wire Mesa and do another 15-30 minute hike. This is a well established trail and good for beginner hikers. There are epic views of Zion from the Mesa. Excellent for panoramic photography.

Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Shanti was wonderful at finding beautiful places for us to explore that were far, far away from the crowds heading into Zion National Park. We hiked to a beautiful arch, found some petroglyphs, petrified wood, and dinosaur tracks. We hiked into a slot canyon and got to see breathtaking vistas of the area. She even managed to make a day with terrible wind still magical. Thank you!

It was ok tour. We went on a quick hike with an amazing views. We were told we couldn't go to see Petroglyphs. Drive to the Ghost town was definitely off-road and pretty interesting. Mark was very attentive and provided snacks and water. We enjoyed our couple of hours sightseeing tour.
