East Zion ATV Tour

Experience Zion Epicness!

5-hour Duration

Seldom Seen Scenery

Zion National Park is one of the most beloved and traveled of the National Parks in the USA.  And for good reason.   Once you visit you will understand why we have a hard time describing its beauty with words.  It’s big.  It’s epic.  It’s unlike anywhere else you are likely to visit.  Located just outside the eastern boundary of the park, Kanab Tour Company’s East Zion ATV Tour is a must do.  Rarely do we see anyone else where we take you.  Visit heart stopping overlooks and color patterns in the sandstone that rival the Wave in Coyote Buttes.  Couple that with an ATV trail that will descend seemingly impossible terrain, and you will get a fixed grin that may be difficult to remove!

Experience the Fun & Thrills of an ATV ride on the East side of Zion.

East Zion Backcountry
East Zion Backcountry Adventure Tour with Kanab Tour Company.

Our ATV tour to East Zion is a four-hour tour that still manages to pack in bucket loads of fun, thrills, excitement and a healthy dose of adventure!

We’ll meet you at our office for check-in, then set off separately to the trailhead where our adventure officially kicks off as we get into the ATVs!
Our East Zion route starts us out near unassuming pastures and mountain scenery.  As we begin our adventure heading east, we close in on the white cliffs of ZionThe views from on top are legendary as we peer into the canyon system known as Parunuweap Canyon.  Far below us is the lesser known eastern fork of the Virgin River.

Our route punches through the layers of the upper Navajo Sandstone as we descend through the cliffs.  Passing through section of deep sand that can inhibit nearly all other vehicles.  From rocky terrain to sand and back, through deep scrub forests to open expanses of slickrock.  This route hast it all!

As we near the bottom of our ride we park and hike for about a 1/4 of a mile or less to an Anasazi Petroglyph (Rock Art) panel and a verdant tree filled canyon.  Its the perfect place to cool off on a warm summer day.

When we are done exploring, it’s time to head back to our ATVs for more fun and thrills over the sand trails as we head back towards our starting point. Time permitting, your guide will treat you to a bonus ride to finish the day on a high note!
