Additional Information

This is the tour we most frequently suggest for the best value! Experience two renowned Zion landmarks in a sturdy, 1-hour Jeep expedition. We’ll first veer through the pine forest to behold the astonishing Checkerboard Mesa. We then brave a few hundred feet down into Jolley Gulch for our second stop. An optional but easy two-minute solo hike is available here, offering a bird’s eye view of the Jolley Gulch’s narrow, 200 feet deep slot canyon. After that, we ascend, crossing the river bed multiple times, as we navigate back on top of the Ponderosa plateau and to our starting point.

The BEST time/experience - We had the best time on our adventure. Every one of the staff was so friendly! Specifically LOEY! The tour she gave was not only amazing, but she had so many stories, fun facts and GREAT jokes! Our family had a BLAST. We have a four year old and she was talking about the jeep adventure for the remainder of our time in Utah and now that we are home she still will randomly talk about it and talk about how amazing Loey + her jokes were! (It was the FIRST thing she told our entire family when we saw them when we got home!) We had a 100/10 experience and are already planning our next trip there but this time with our entire family! If you're wanting a rad experience with a ton of different options for adventures, THIS IS THE PLACE. You won't be disappointed!

Bumpkin’s Views - Great views. Roads are super bumpy, hence the jeep. Enjoyed our guide; he was very knowledgeable of the area’s history, geology and flora and some of the Native American lore as well.

Fun, exciting jeep tour - Mike Lamar was such a fun, excellent guide. He made the tour so much fun, especially for my twin 8 year old boys. He was very knowledgeable about the area, and was a fun jeep driver. It was one of our favorite experiences here.
