Trips & tickets
Zion listings overlap heavily, and many run just outside the park rather than in it. These are the formats that genuinely differ — where they start, whether they enter the park, and what the price leaves out.
A guide drives you by UTV across the back country of East Zion, outside the park, to the mouth of a slot canyon with red walls over 100 feet high, then leads a strenuous hike in, with boulder climbs of 8–10 feet.
A guided e-bike ride up the Zion Canyon valley with stops including the Court of the Patriarchs and the Temple of Sinawava, learning about the canyon's plants, wildlife, history and geology.
A guided ride from stables at Orderville in East Zion, with a short lesson for first-timers, to the mouth of a slot canyon where you dismount and walk in between walls several hundred feet high.
A narrated 10- or 20-minute flight over the canyon country of southwestern Utah, with views of the Virgin River valley, West Temple and the Crater Hill volcano on the south-west side of Zion.
The full GetYourGuide listing for Zion National Park — horseback rides, e-bike and UTV tours, helicopter flights and more, with live prices.
The park charges $35 per private vehicle, and on the National Park Service's fee page each non-US resident aged 16 and older also pays a $100 nonresident fee, including on commercial tours. A tour that leaves both out is only cheaper on paper.
UTVs are prohibited inside Zion National Park, and guided groups are not allowed in its Wilderness, only on frontcountry trails. Many trips sold as Zion tours run on the land around the park; read the itinerary for the park itself.
No tour gets you onto the Angels Landing chains without a permit from the lottery: $6 to apply for up to 6 people, plus $3 per person if you are picked. The bottom-up hike into The Narrows needs no permit.
