Rock climbing

I signed up for a full day of rock climbing. Stephen, my guide, was incredible. He told me about Zion National Park on the drive to the climbing site. On the hike in, he educated me about the plants. Once I started to climb, he gave me good beta. He setup climbs appropriate for my ability. He took pictures, so I could share them with friends. I highly recommend Rock Odysseys regardless of your ability level.

I spent so much time researching all the guiding services and selected Rock Odyssey. We picked correctly. Dion was the best guide. We had so much fun. He was patient and informative and a great conversationalist. We took a trip through Water Canyon. You walk up the canyon, then rappel down. I aspire to do some canyoneering on my own, so he also provided some great field information. I feel comfortable doing it on my own now. He also provided some great local knowledge and history, which was utterly fascinating. On our way out, we saw a group of young polygamist girls (wives?) which was fascinating. At any rate, I can't recommend Rock Odyssey enough.

I had a blast with Ethan on the multi-pitch climbing trip at Lamb's Knoll. It was my first multi-pitch and I learned a lot. Ethan was very knowledgeable and had a wealth of experience. He led me down 400 ft of repelling then back up 5 pitches. The last pitch was the highlight and the longest. This climb had it all: overhanging jugs, a crimpy dihedral section, a bit of a mantle getting to the fourth traverse pitch, a couple of slabby moves at the start, and a finish in a small chimney. Some prior repelling experience is required. I recommend this experience for the sport climber who is curious about multi-pitch climbing. The entire route is well protected with glue-in bolts. Ethan does a great job when it comes to safety, buddy checks, communication, and best practices. Amazing experience and an amazing guide! I would book another trip with Rock Odysseys and Ethan again, an unforgettable experience!

Took a family adventure half day canyoneering trip with our 10& 6 yr old boys. Maggie was an amazing guide and was so patient and great with us. She coached and worked with our nervous boys even helping them down when they didnt have it in them for the first canyon. By the time we left everyone was wizzing down and excited for new adventures. Great communication from booking through to pickup. I honestly can say this was the best thing we did on our trip and well worth the cost of the private guided tour. Loved it and felt safe the entire time!!

We completed a half day Canyoneering trip with Stephen and it was the highlight of our trip to Zion. We felt comfortable with Stephen's guidance and expertise, and truly loved every moment. I would highly recommend Rock Odysseys and Stephen!

What an amazing experience! We had such a great time--including our cousin who turned out to be hiding a fear of heights. Our guide was so incredibly gracious, and he created an experience we all could love despite our varying skill levels (our trip was in April and I'm devastated I can't remember his name). I 100% recommend.

Our guides, Gabby (Owner) and Sandra were absolutely wonderful. They were very patient and encouraging since most of us had never rappelled. With each rappel everyone gained more confidence and was presented with a greater challenge at the next location. It was a great experience overall; we are already planning and looking forward to our next adventure with them.

My wife repelling 100ft. Down.

Went out to Zion Utah, setup an excursion with Rock Odyssey out in Springdale. Just my wife and myself. 8am start with our guide Aly. She is and excellant guide. Being our first time, she really shows her experience and professionalism. One of the best things to do when your in the area. Ask for her by name, she will get you climbing and repelling in no time. An unforgettable time and experience.

We were vacationing in the area and planning on visiting Zion National Park as well as the Grand Canyon. In addition, I decided to book a full day combo tour (rock climbing + canyoneering) for me, my wife and our two teenage sons. The entire experience was amazing from beginning to end with Rock Odysseys. They patiently answered my questions and then were able to book our trip without any issues. On the day of the trip, we met our guide Gabby at the rendezvous point. None of us had any real experience with climbing or rappelling and a couple were a little scared of heights. This was no problem for Gabby. She is an amazing guide. She is so knowledgable about the sport and had the most patient, cool-headed demeanor even with two rowdy teenage boys. She is an amazing teacher and made sure we all learned a lot and had an amazing experience. We felt so safe and well-cared for. Kudos to the Rock Odysseys team as they crushed it on our trip and a HUGE nod to our amazing guide, Gabby, who made the trip so much fun for us. I highly recommend Rock Odysseys if you're in the area and looking for an adventure!

Forrest struck the perfect balance -- fun, knowledgeable, and great with kids -- so everyone felt completely safe and comfortable while still having an amazing time. Our 9- and 11-year-olds crushed 50-foot rappels and were so proud of themselves. Highly recommend, and we'd book with Forrest and Zion Adventures again without hesitation. We also rented our Narrows gear through them, using the new Virgin location instead of Springdale. It was more convenient for us since we were staying in Hurricane, making it easy to pick up gear the night before. Easy process, and Maile made sure we had everything we needed plus all the info necessary to stay safe on the hike. One tip: if you're not staying in Springdale and are booking a canyoneering tour, book the Virgin location. It's right by Kolob Canyon Road where Lambs Knoll is, so it saves you the drive into Springdale.

I'm glad that they don't offer a half-day class for beginners. An 8-hour class is needed if you have never done this before. On the last Rappel all of us felt comfortable and confident that we can achieve the next day adventure we had. Our instructors name is Dion. He had plenty of patience and very knowledgeable on what he was doing. We have been coming designs for the last six years in a row. We have all done the all the popular hikes more than once. We have a new passion for canyoneering. Advice, if you have never rappelled before I suggest you take an all-day class and learn how to do it so you will be confident on your own. All 4 of us agree on this.

Our tour guide, Al, showed us such an amazing experience! He was friendly, patient, funny, knowledgeable of the area, and of course, has tons of stories to share! Super laid back and very professional! Depending on the amount of people you with, the price of canyoneering will decrease. Before you go on the trip, make sure you use the bathroom. The drive up to Lambs Knoll was about 30mins and the hike up was about another 30 mins. Instructions and safety took about 10 mins and next thing you know, you're strapped up and ready to go! With a group of 4, Al made each of us feel comfortable on each course. He didn't rush us off the mountain and even offered to continue on to do more rappelling. If we didn't leave our mom on a souvenir shopping spree for 4 hours, I would've agreed for more! He even made me feel all skinny believing that I can squeeze myself between the slot canyons!! Haha! That was an adventure in and of itself. The Slot Canyons were one of my top 10 things to do while living in Utah and I'm glad I got to see how beautiful it is in person. The pictures below doesn't do any justice to actually being there and touching the walls. Before I wrap up this novel of a review, I have to say that I will definitely come back here and do the narrows. They offered 10% off our next adventure and 10% off apparel.

I saw large expanses of rocks we could walk on that resembled skate parks, I saw a hummingbird, phlox, blooming cacti, painted flowers, lizards, evergreens, lichen in bright yellows and oranges and views that make your heart stop. He even took us to see petroglyphs and actual dinosaur prints! We came away feeling our thousands of miles trip was worth every hour it took. We highly recommend ZRMG!

Initially I wasn't really sure what you expect from a Jeep tour, but I was pleasantly surprised by the fun, off the beaten path experience that we had taking the sunset tour. I was a bit leery of the Jeep and thinking it may or may not break down on a dirt road without cellular signal, but all is well that ends well. The ride was scenic and bumpy and an all around good time. Our tour guide was Zach(Zack?) and he was Ah-mazing. He was a great driver, funny, interesting, informative, and an all around joy to be around for our three hour tour. He shared lots of information on our surroundings, asked a lot of questions about our trip, and made a lot of great recommendations for our stay near Zion. If you can get him as your guide, you'll be in great hands. Overall a lovely time with spectacular views.

If you are looking to get killed…read more.. My husband, brother and i booked a weekend with them back in October and had Rob as a guide. Even though they are not doing guides at the Zion itself they are "selling it". Therefore and because the weather forecast did not look to good for the whole area they recommended the north wash area. We went in the same corner were the movie was made with the guy who got stuck in the canyon and cut off his arm. But we did not know that at that time. But here comes the thing they put money first before safety! We asked several times if it is safe to go and if it wouldn't be better to cancel because of weather. They refused. We went in an area he had no clue in which fork we went for Canyoneering. And afterwards I discovered that the locals there had cancelled all trips for that weekend due weather forecast and storm. He put us right into it!!!! We trusted them and their experience!!! They clearly don't have. They may be climbers but that does not help if you don't know the area We spend the night stuck in the canyon after exhausting hours climbing through the canyon through way to narrow spots. And we went right into a flash flood!! And whole night of thunderstorms and rain, clustered together on an edge under us above us everywhere water. Our phones died because our guide did not have light with him and he refused later reimburse our stuff. Our fault he said. Our trip took us almost 30 hours of nightmare. And next morning a rescue team where on their way to look for us not because the company was worried no because nice people next to our camping ground realized we did not come back before the storm started. Make sure you book trip with locals and they do trips in an area they really know! By they way we did not get an apology just a free trip for a better experience instead of money back (we asked for our money back to donate somewhere because they clearly did not deserve it)! Who the hell would do a second trip after such a nightmare! Greedy for money with no care for the people who just want a nice and safe experience out in nature

When the Zion Canyon Shuttle is running, Weeping Rock is shuttle stop #7…read more This trail is pretty short at 0.4 miles, but it is pretty steep with stairs at the end! If you are fit and fast, maybe you could do it in 10 minutes, but if you want to enjoy a slower pace or have small kids, maybe budget closer to 45 minutes. This area drips continuously since the Navajo Sandstone layer is porous like a sponge and so water runs through it and seeps out due to gravity. Do not expect a waterfall at the end of this hike. Standing in the alcove, you can see down the valley and admire Angels Landing, the Great White Throne, etc. The hike is definitely unique and worth checking out if you have some time in your schedule. It does get crowded and there were a bunch of people filming themselves at the end of the trail (for social media?) so if you're looking for solitude this place isn't it.

Weeping Rock was one of my favorite hikes at Zion National Park!…read more It's considered an easy trail, but just a heads up, it is steep going up. It's not a long hike at all, but that incline definitely caught me a little off guard. If you take your time, though, it's very doable and completely worth it. You get to it from shuttle stop #7, so it's easy to add into your day if you're already using the Zion shuttle. Once you make your way up, the view is beautiful. You get this really pretty look at Zion, and then you have the water dripping down from the rocks, almost like little waterfalls. That part was my favorite. It felt peaceful, cool, and different from the other stops I visited in the park. There's just something about standing there with the canyon around you and the water coming down that makes it feel special! Even with the steep walk up, I'm so glad I did this trail! It was short, scenic, and ended up being one of the most memorable parts of my Zion trip! If Weeping Rock is open when you visit, I'd definitely make time for it.

September 2, 2026 - Zion National Park, Utah…read more This is a nice little hike, about a mile between Shuttle Stop #6 (The Grotto) and Shuttle Stop #5 (the Lodge). I was actually pretty excited to see "The Grotto," imagining some mossy little cave or rock formation that we'd get to hike into. Nope! Turns out, the Grotto Trail is named for The Grotto, which is simply the destination at the end of the trail--not a cave or grotto at all. So, false advertising in my imagination. Once we figured that out, we enjoyed the easy, shaded trail. There's plenty of beautiful scenery along the way, and we even spotted a family of three deer hanging out alongside the trail, which was definitely a highlight. Overall, it's a great easy hike if you're looking for something relaxing without a lot of elevation gain. We walked on to the Lodge, checked out the gift shop, and then decided we still needed a little more exercise, so we continued on to the Emerald Pools Trail. Definitely worth doing if you're in the area and looking for an easy, scenic hike.
