About

East Zion Adventures opens up a world of slot canyons and backcountry terrain that most visitors to southern Utah never get to experience. From their base in Orderville, the company specializes in guided adventures that showcase the dramatic landscape east of Zion National Park, where narrow slot canyons cut through vibrant sandstone and remote trails wind through untouched wilderness.

Their signature experiences include canyoneering expeditions that take adventurers rappelling into hidden slot canyons, UTV tours that access remote red rock country, and guided hikes through the famous Narrows of Zion National Park. The slot canyon tours are particularly memorable, leading small groups through twisting passages where sunlight filters down between towering walls. For those seeking more adrenaline, the UTV adventures offer the chance to explore rugged mountain terrain and access viewpoints impossible to reach by regular vehicle.

What sets East Zion Adventures apart is their focus on the lesser-known treasures of the region. While most visitors concentrate on Zion's main canyon, these guides reveal the spectacular wilderness that extends east toward Bryce Canyon and the Grand Staircase. Their experienced guides share deep knowledge of the area's geology and history while ensuring safe passage through technical terrain.

Located in Orderville along Highway 89, the company serves as an ideal base for exploring the wild country between Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks. Whether rappelling into a hidden slot canyon, navigating the Virgin River through the Narrows, or riding UTVs across slickrock plateaus, East Zion Adventures provides access to Utah's most dramatic landscapes with expert guidance every step of the way.

Absolutely INCREDIBLE! Our guides were phenomenal, especially John (I think we had both Johns as our drivers for the Red Rock Canyon Hike) they kept us laughing and had such great energy. Our driver John was so intentional about taking all the pictures we wanted and making sure we were enjoying our experience. The stargazing was amazing. The guides for that were awesome as well. Instructions and meet locations were all clear and accurate. 100% recommend!!!!

Loved this 2 hour adventure! 1 hour of super fun ATV riding through the canyon and 1 hour of hiking through Elk Heart and Crimson slot canyons. Great pics! 77 year old grandpa and my 2 young daughters loved it too! Kevin and John Michael were fantastic guides!

Rappelling down slot canyons with Kez was my personal favorite tour of a six national park adventure. My husband and 8 and 10 year old children also had a blast! The canyon itself was breathtaking and the rappells were enjoyable and not too short, each very unique. We have never done rappelling before, so if you are hesitant, know that your guide will make you feel comfortable and safe and you can do it! The UTV trip was fun and bumpy and there was a moderate, sandy, uphill hike to the entrance to the slot canyon but we all liked that, too! Shout out to Kez for being a really fun and encouraging leader. Definitely worth every penny.
