Wow I had never had a better experience on a bike ever in my life. It did all the work for me. I think it might have been the best day of my life. Seriously. read more

Omg I forgot to review this place ! I went last min trip to hike the narrows back in Nov, is always been on my top list. Little that I know we really need it the whole outfit to get in the water so rent it ! Is worth it if you visit from Oct -Feb I promise you need it ! We were doubting about the bikes instead of the bus ride so all well we rented the bikes best decision ever ! The views c the air you breathe the time you spend in the road are priceless! Also prices are pretty good and the owners are so professional and super nice ! I can't wait to go back read more

Zion Outfitter - Bike Rentals Near Me - Springdale, Utah

This shop offers gear rental for the Narrows and is conveniently located right by the park entrance. We got the dry bib package (recommended in the spring), which comes with boots, neoprene socks, the dry bib, and a hiking stick. It was $55 per person. Your feet are supposed to get wet, while they told us we would stay dry above our ankles. We both ended up getting our legs wet in different areas up to our waists through our suits, so I don't think they do a good job on checking for leaks. The dry bibs definitely did not keep us dry. read more

Zion Outfitter - Wet pants - Bike Rentals Near Me - Springdale, Utah

Great experience with these guys! And you cannot beat the location, right outside of the entrance to Zion park!!

I recommend renting equipment closer (walking distance) to your lodging. Zion Outfitters is located next to the visitors center and the visitors center public parking lot was FULL at 7:35 a.m. This required us to park in the pay lot which is $40 (flat fee). Plus the man working outside eBike concession was very terse and stoic. He seemed like he did not like his job, nor people. I recommend renting equipment closer to your lodging which gives you more flexibility with your morning schedule since the Springdale shuttles start running at 8:00 a.m. and if renting eBikes you don't even need to ride the shuttle at all. read more

Visited in mid-February. Rented gear (full drysuit) and used showers 2x. *Gear* Reserved gear (cheaper online) for hiking the Narrows - $49 pre-tax. Try on the gear (dry bib, neoprene aka wet-suit socks, boots, and walking stick), and make sure everything is comfy. Highly recommend picking up the day prior to 1) start the hike early 2) avoid crowds. Don't forget the hiking stick (I almost did!) Pick-up for day-before is 3pm-6pm. Otherwise pick-up for day-of is 8am-10am. I'm 5'3, and the highest the water level got was right at my chest. Water levels were about 50-60 cubic ft/s that day. *Showers* Showers are $4 for 5 min - buy tokens via cashier, and they'll give further instructions. Water was pretty hot, and I was happily clean before walking back to the campgrounds. Showers were clean (some hair here and there), but seemed like a "clean up after yourself" situation. Each shower room has a towel rack, two door hooks, and a bench for your shower items. They also have toiletries, etc. for purchase if you're missing anything. One toilet and couple sinks for general use. I'd recommend setting a timer on your phone for x min left so you can start rinsing off! I cut it a bit close ~ Had a pleasant experience with all the employees, but there was one guy I was asking questions who had some snarky responses. But overall, got what I needed, and would recommend this spot. read more

Zion Outfitter - Showers ($4 for 5 min) - Bike Rentals Near Me - Springdale, Utah

We had a wonderful experience with Ken at Zion Outfitters today. We rented e-bikes from another location earlier in the day. My daughter hadn't been on a bike in a while and didn't feel comfortable with the size or weight of the bike, so we retuned them. Decided to try finding a tandem bike at another location but they were sold out. When we got to Zion Outfitters, Ken took the time to find a suitable bike for my daughter and explained all the reason why it fit her perfectly. He had her take a few test laps to get comfortable and made sure she was happy before we took off. We ended up having an amazing day and I was so appreciative of the time Ken took with her. THANK YOU, KEN!!! read more

I honestly cannot believe how poorly we were treated here. It completely ruined our moods for the day and I hardly write any negative reviews because I understand how hard it is for businesses to stay afloat, but the staff we ran into here was both extremely rude but also completely unhelpful. We came by around 2:00 p.m. and were told that they were completely sold out of the bibs and waterproof suits. Although that is totally fine, the man that was helping us with so rude and condescending while telling us. He commented that they were the largest rental spot in the park and that no other rental place would have any stock. We felt hard pressured to pay for just the shoes and socks even though we had so many more questions. We ended up calling another outfitter and surprise surprise. They actually had bibs and full suits still available. There are plenty of other rental places at this park and I'd highly encourage others to bring their business where they respect their patrons read more

Conveniently located in the parking lot of Zions visitor center. For $35 you can rent a pair of moisture wicking socks, hydro boots, and a walking stick. They say to pick a stick about the height of your shoulders. It's inevitable not to get your feet wet but having the right gear helps especially when walking for miles on rocks and water that can be as high as your chest. Tip: I also recommend bringing a waterproof bag or some kind plastic to protect your belongings from getting wet especially your phone. They do sell hydro bags in the store and if I can remember correctly it was about $30. read more

Zion Outfitter - Bike Rentals Near Me - Springdale, Utah

Located right outside the entrance to Zion and the shuttle up, this is the best location to rent equipment for the Narrows hike. They have the bibs, neoprene socks, shoes and hiking poles. I only rented the pole for $10 but the shoes could have been helpful. Unless you're going in winter when the water is cooler, I don't think the bibs were needed. However if you want to stay as dry as possible you'll want that too. You can reserve ahead of time but they seem to have plenty of stock so that it's not really necessary. And if you want to get a head start in the morning you should pick up the rentals the evening before (but you don't have to). Check their hours. You also have to sign an electronic waiver which will then be matched up to what you returned the next day. On our hike it seemed like perhaps half the people had rented the boots and pole. You'll read all sorts of reviews but ultimately it will be what you feel most comfortable with. I felt like the pole was a must for stability unless you have superior balance, super strong ankles and don't mind potentially falling into the water. Zion Guru (a little bit further but still close) seems to have better reviews and customer service but can't speak to that. They also seem a little pricier. read more

We waited in line before the shop opened and when they opened the two dudes who greeted us were rude and unfriendly. They acted as if they were put out for doing their job. We were paying customers who spent $300 dollars on equipment and they told us to listen the first time when giving directions, like we were kids or toddlers. Maybe they needed more sleep or maybe they hate their jobs who knows but overall the experience was not great. read more

Zion outfitters was located near our hotel so it was the obvious choice for us, but also I would recommend them for anyone not staying at the lodge. The employees are HIGHLY educated on the trails you take, the gear you'll need and the experience you'll have. I rented gear for the narrows, and felt well. prepared for the hike. The employees made sure things fit well, and were happy to help as we switched out sizes, and asked questions. The gear was newer, and kept us dry. The price was reasonable and I couldn't have done the hike without it. read more

Fantastic prices for day rentals! If you're planning on hiking the Narrows in the colder months, you should plan to rent your gear from here. For $55/person, we were fitted with hiking boots, neoprene socks, dry bib, and a walking stick. The gear was in great condition and definitely felt worth the price. Something to note: The shoes, socks, and bib aren't waterproof. They're designed to keep you warm in the water much like a wetsuit. So bring extra clothes to change into after your hike! read more

Super helpful staff! Gave clear direction of what we needed to do and what they recommended for The Narrows Hike

Zion Outfitter was the E-Bike company we used to ride throughout Mt. Zion National Park. Right before the park entrance, at the Springdale Parking, it was easy to sign the waiver and purchase the rental. Service was respectful, kind, and straight to the point. The price was acceptable for us, we had no regrets with the price because the view and ease of riding throughout the park! The bikes were in good shape and fully charged and helmets were clean. Within minutes you'll be able to be riding into the park & it is worth your while! read more

Zion Outfitter - Bike Rentals Near Me - Springdale, Utah

The rental experience itself was smooth. But this one particular gentleman was just ... kinda rude! Like, we get it dude, a bunch of normies renting wet suits isn't the most pleasant thing to manage. But people are unfamiliar and may have a question or two. Just deal with it and save the attitude! Or don't work in retail? Sooo 5 star review, but minus one for the rude dude. I'm just fuckin' gonna call him Todd or something. Cheer up, Todd! It's all going to be okay. read more

Located at the entrance of Zion national park. You can park in the visitors center of the park and walk across to the store. The store rents out most of what you need to hike. For someone that comes from south Texas, everything I rented was well worth it. It kept me dry . I rented the bib, neoprene, socks, and shoes to hike the Narrows. $55 for Bibb, shoes, neoprene socks and walking stick They also sell all your hiking or camping needs. They have cute park stickers as well. The staff is very knowledgeable. They can answer questions regarding their supplies and regarding the hike. They have 2 hour free parking on site or park in the parks visitor's parking and walk over read more

Was camping at watchman campground and decided to do the narrows because I woke up early. This was a short walk from the campground and they have a super efficient system to rent gear and return it at the end of the day. Not that expensive and the gear made this 10 mile hike much easier!! Workers are nice and I've rented gear here for the subway hike too. Cute gift shop too. read more

RENT SOMEWHERE ELSE! Very disappointed with everything about this place. They were unfriendly and when we arrived they just sat behind the desk chatting without any desire to be of help. I purchased a shirt anyway, but turns out it was too small. After requesting an exchange, offering to pay shipping both ways since I had already returned home I was told "we are too busy during our busy season, check back in December or January". Well.... I know they have time, as they all stood around when we were present. As if they are scrambling every open minute? Well,,, Its now January and after 3 more emails they finally responded saying "sorry we are out of stock of that shirt". Of course you are. Why not just tell me to pound sand as a customer to begin with and saved all of us the trouble? Clearly they do not care about customers only dollars. While I do plan to return with my whole family to Zion, this place will not see a dollar from my wallet. read more

Rented e-bikes here with a large group and the staff was very friendly and understanding. They also made sure to properly explain all the features and made sure everything was correct with the size of the bikes/helmets. They also had very reasonable prices especially for being in such a gorgeous area and the e-bikes were very fun to ride through the canyon allowing you to see muchhh more than you would on the bus. read more

I've been trying to resolve an issue with this store for weeks and the lack of communication is extremely frustrating. Every time I call, I'm told a manager will contact me, but that never happens, and it seems like there is never actually a manager available during store hours. I purchased a tent from here that was missing poles, which makes it completely useless, and I still haven't been able to get this taken care of. Very disappointing experience. I do not recommend shopping here. read more

Five stars all the way. Rented e-bikes from them. Super convenient and great spot to pickup from. Highly recommend to rent bikes vs sitting on the shuttle. Had a billing error and they rectified it within 24 hours with no fuss. Will definitely rent from them again. Great experience! read more

We booked our items (shoes and walking stick) the night prior to our hike in the narrows. On the day of, we received our items super quick and easy. We decided to rent a waterproof backpack in the moment and place our extra stuff in a locker. Overall, great price and very easy to get to. Service was good. read more

This is where you can get your gear for the hike on Zion. Everyone here was so friendly. Clean store, clean restrooms, clean gear, the entire spot is well maintained. You can tell they take pride in making sure we all feel welcome and want to get what we need for our hike. I recommend just making sure you follow exactly what they tell you when it comes to putting on the gear because it's very specific. Bring the minimum as far as personal items. And definitely make sure that you bring either a small backpack or at the least make sure you bring water and snacks. It's a long hike and you will definitely get wet. Parking was very simple, but arrive early so you can make sure you get parking. We arrived just after 9am and by the time we started going to the trail more people started piling in. I really recommend getting your gear here. They'll take the time to walk you through it all. read more

Zion Outfitter - Instructions - Bike Rentals Near Me - Springdale, Utah

I would highly recommend this business. We came to Zion thinking we would walk right up and hike the Narrows at noon one day. Joke was on us since the road up to the Narrows closes (when the shuttles aren't running) when the parking lots are full. Which for the Narrows is shortly after 7. Zion Outfitter suggested we could rent bikes and ride up the canyon. There is only a 1% incline so the ride is very enjoyable. I am so glad we did this. It was a beautiful way to really get to see the beauty of Zion. We went back the next day and rented bikes again to ride up and hike Angels Landing. This is the way to do it if you can't park there and don't want to or can't ride the shuttle. When we returned our bikes that day we picked up gear to hike the Narrows the next day. Between 3-6, you can pick up rentals for the next day. Such a great way to have what you need. Especially since they don't open until 8 and the Narrows parking lot of full before then. All of the employees we dealt with were so patient and helpful. They gave great tips and recommendations. They didn't make you feel like they had said the exact same thing fifty other times that day. The rental process was quick and easy and the most laid back place I have ever rented from. If you are hiking the Narrows when it is cold renting their equipment makes it a wonderful, fun, and memorable hike. Kudos to all of the employees. You guys made this one of our very vacations ever. read more

Zion Outfitters enabled us to have a successful, memorable experience hiking The Narrows. $35 per person to rent special shoes, socks, and walking stick for a day wasn't highway robbery and ultimately helped keep us safe. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Entire rental process was very easy to complete. Would definitely give Zion Outfitters my repeat business for future visits to Zion National Park. read more

Like most folks who do the Narrows, I got my gear at Zion Outfitters. No regrets! It was the perfect package--dry pants, boots, neoprene socks, and a walking stick. I was nervous about wearing boots that weren't my own for that long of a hike but I have to say, those were some VERY comfortable boots. Between those, the socks, and cool water of the river, my feet were the only things not hurting me by the end of the hike! ha. The pants, though not the sexiest look, also kept me nice and dry. And the walking stick is CRUCIAL. You may think you have good balance but when you're walking on miles of uneven river rocks you'll be glad you have it. I also added a dry bag which I was very grateful for when I lost my footing at one point and slipped on to my side into the river (I still maintain I didn't fall! Just tipped over like a weeblewobble). My brand new fancy camera stayed protected. Pick up and drop off was super easy. The outfitters are right at the entrance to the park and steps away from the shuttle that takes you to the trailhead, so it's all easy. There's also a public parking lot on site which, be forewarned, is expensive ($30 some for the day) but knowing how tired I'd be after my day in the park I decided to do it so I wouldn't have to mess with the city shuttle. They also have a ton of other outdoorsy gear, Zion branded clothing, power bars, hats, etc. Pretty much everything you need for a day in the park if you forgot to plan ahead. read more

Hands down best outdoor equipment rental I've been to. Not the cheapest, but the building is clean, staff is helpful, and the option for shuttles on the bike rental is superb! Huge thanks to Zander for being such a huge help, and Jim's lookin good! read more

Zion Outfitter Rented water hiking shoes, neoprene socks and hiking stick for $32. Location is what makes this place so convenient, just across the bridge from entrance . We picked up our rental gear day before and returned the next afternoon. Don't forget to bring dry shoes or sandals after turning in rentals. read more

Walked in on a Sunday afternoon to do a little shopping. All three employees behind the counter on their phones and never even looked up. Proceeded to turn around and walk out without shopping. Do better employees!!!! read more

Loved this place for our bibs and e-bikes! Will say I don't recommend riding the e-bikes all the way to the narrows though unless you plan on putting a decent amount of effort in! Great service and awesome people read more

If you want to see the true Zion park, you must get off the bus and rent bikes. E-bikes made the experience easy but they are heavy and turn like a bus. Zion Outfitter had nice bikes with a basket and helmets. Would use them again. read more

All the gear you need to properly hike the Narrows! Loved that we could pick the gear up the day before so we could hit the trial early !

This review is for Narrows rentals only. I reserved and paid for gear online in advance. We did the Warm Weather Package ($32 per person), which comes with neoprene socks, canyoneering boots, and a hiking stick. All were very necessary, even in July in 100°+ weather. The socks and boots keep you warm, keep rocks out of your shoes, and protect your feet. I saw people hiking in Crocs, slides, and flip flops getting hurt. Wear the proper foot gear! The hiking stick is useful for seeing how deep the water is. We also got the Waterproof Backpack ($12). We probably didn't need this, but it was worth peace of mind. It was really big and fit 3 big water bottles. *Check your gear!!* My shoes were missing the velcro thing that secured the laces, so my shoes kept coming untied. Zion Outfitters is very convenient being right outside the main entrance. You can pick up your gear the night before starting at 4:00. They say to return your gear by 8:00, but they don't check anything off when you rent it or when you return it. We recommend for convenience, but make sure to check your gear before! read more

Rented equipment the afternoon before planning to hike the narrows. After leaving Zion Outfitters my daughter and I hiked a trail and she unfortunately sprained her ankle. When I returned the equipment (unused) the next day, I was offered no refund because he said he could have rented my equipment to someone else. He basically said "that's how the business works". To some extent, I understand, but I think he could have met me halfway and given a partial refund. read more

Rented two bibs/socks/shoes for my partner and I to do the Narrows. Excellent hike, did 5hrs. She was soaked (put the bib on correctly in the store and was checked by the staff prior to leaving. Bigger problem? In the rental shop, they have a wall of $30 Gecko bags that sell as dry bags that you wear on your back. The bags say "waterproof" in two-inch block letters, right above. Turns out, they are not. Thankfully we put our phones in a zippered compartment in our bibs, because when we got back to the car, we realized the bag was soaked. When I went to the front desk to ask for a return, four employees were hanging around, and one of them told me that the packaging says it was "splash resistant" and not to submerge them. I pointed out that said "waterproof" right on it, and she made a comment about how that was "a branding thing and not their problem." I couldn't believe they would not return the money, but moreover, the attitude and lack of accountability was pretty stunning. I should have gone with Zion Guru or Zion Adventures. Will not rent from them again. Don't buy Gecko bags either. read more

COME HERE prior to hiking the NARROWS, for RENTAL GEAR! Highly recommend. Total cost for one person for gear: $45. WORTH IT for you to have a better, warm, safe, dry hiking experience. I am 5'4 and the water in the narrows at the deepest point came up to my neck. I recommend renting gear (especially now that it is cold and that there are cyanobacteria in the water). Dry Bib package was recommended during the Spring and Winter when water levels are high and temperatures are cold. Dry Bib Package includes Dry bibs (waders) Adidas Hydro Lace Canyoneering Boot 5mm Neoprene Socks Wooden Hiking Stick. The waterproof canyoneering shoes were pretty great, but your feet will get wet but will be kept warm by the neoprene socks which insulate and cause much fewer blisters than a regular wet sock. The wooden hiking stick is ideal for balance and stability and holds up much better than regular trekking poles in the Narrows. Reservations are optional. They keep plenty of equipment in stock in order to accommodate all walk-in customers and we arrived at 10am (last time you should get there if you want to do the entire hike). :) Have fun with the Narrows! read more

If you're hiking the Narrows in the spring, the river will be freezing and you're going to want to rent gear. There are several places to rent gear. We picked this one because it opens the earliest. You can get your gear the night before at most places, but we weren't staying in Springdale and didn't want to drive extra just to pick it up. We rented a bib/pants, socks, boots, and a stick. The pants and socks were great. They definitely kept my feet and legs warm. The boots were awful. We only hiked about 4 miles total and I could barely walk by the end because my feet were in so much pain from the boots. They hurt our toes and our ankles. The boots don't keep the water out anyway, so I would just wear the socks with my own shoes next time. Or if I was hiking when it was warmer, I might not rent any gear. read more

We came in as unexperienced 1st time travellers to pick up our rentbikes with the voucher of the travelagency. We received nice help from the lady behind the counter, but were then send to one of the biggest dicks I have encountered during our trip in south west USA. No explination whatever, no map for the trip through Zion Nat. park. What a shitbag this guy was. Next time I will ask a person that loves his/her work. Nevertheless the sightseeing by bike was breath taking in Zion Nat. park. read more

Great location right outside of the entrance of the park. Easy to rent and reserve online. Staff is helpful, comes with a helmet as well. Only downside is that it probably would've been more cost effective if I could rent a bike per hour, but it wasn't the case here. Either way, still highly suggest biking Zion. read more
