Great place, really great. I would not recommend going to Zion without involving this place. Even if you don't buy or rent anything from here, the staff here is so sincerely passionate and knowledgeable about Zion and its many activities, they will really help to make your visit a maximally enjoyable one. Kudos to the founder/owner -- he's really assembled a phenomenal team. And their website is fantastic too -- very informative on every single activity there is to do in Zion -- way better than the official park website. I definitely recommend that anyone visiting Zion at least stop by this place.
Oh yes, the owner's 8 year old boy works there (pro bono I assume), and boy is he a wunderkind -- he knows everything there is to know about the park, the equipment at ZAC, the meaning of life, you name it ha! What a great little dynamo!

Hi All at ZAC,
A big thank you to everyone for going the extra mile to make my recent Zion trip such an enjoyable experience. Thanks particularly to Scott Williams and BJ Cassell for their deep knowledge, insight, infectious enthusiasm, patience and generosity in sharing their passion for canyoneering and the great outdoors.
Thanks also to the guiding/outfitting team for tolerating my hanging around at ZAC between 6-7pm many nights, looking for canyoneering buddies for the next day; I had travelled alone from Europe and did not want to be venturing out solo into such potentially dangerous terrain.
I also much appreciated Scott arranging a transfer to a High Adventure Day itinerary, (a full descent of Water Canyon with BJ as guide), for the last day of my 3 day basic course. He had seen that I was ready for a more autonomous/strenuous canyoneering experience than perhaps were the other members of the group. Scott's observation, diplomacy and discretion meant everyone was catered for, without any individual feeling held back or under pressure to do too much.
In the week after the course, I twice descended Keyhole Canyon and Pine Creek, each second time in effect using my newly-learned skills to lead a small group down these canyons.
The icing on the cake was last Friday, sharing a trip through Mystery Canyon with BJ on his day off; a magical voyage, a first for us both, and well worth the 5.30am alarm call the day before to snag the permits. Attached is a quick snap of me on the way down into Mystery Springs :)
I'll be back to rent a wetsuit and some 5.10's next year!
Best wishes,

Thanks again to ZAC for a wonderful time! Our rapelling adventure with Rob was outstanding. We all enjoyed Rob with all his knowledge along with lots of patience! We hope to see you if you come to Baton Rouge. Maria, thank you for the shuttle to Chamberlain Ranch, we enjoyed our visit during the ride. Hank, it was great to see you again even though it was just for a brief moment. ZAC has a great group of people, always friendly, helpful, and filled with useful information. We come back every October, but I'm hoping sooner this time...We'll be seeing you. SLP (stupid Louisiana People)That's what we call ourselves after doing the Narrows from top to bottom, OUCH! We were very thankful for the equimpment from ZAC.

Dear Zion Adventure Company,
I just wanted to take a minute to say thank you to your staff for all their help in making my first Zion experience one I'll never forget. I had the pleasure of dealing with Amanda on my initial phone call to reserve my gear, and also on my first visit to the store, and cannot say enough about how helpful she was in making sure I had exactly what I needed. Her exuberant personality & infectious smile were definitely a welcome change after having run into a few snags earlier on my vacation. On the day of my Narrows hike, we were lucky enough to have Steve as our shuttle driver. His knowledge of the area, and the outdoors in general, was a huge help in my trek through the Narrows and beyond. I ended up putting 31 miles on my Canyoneer shoes over a two day period, and they, along with the other gear I rented, worked perfectly. I hope to make it back to Zion soon, but until then I will definitely spread the word of the awesome experience I had with ZAC!
Thanks again,

We recently visited Zions National Park and used the services of Zion Adventure Company. We can't say enough about how well we were treated. We experienced river tubing, 4x4 adventure, canyoneering and rented gear for the Narrows hike. Bill was our tour guide for the 4x4 tour and did an excellent job. We also had BJ take us out canyoneering and it was awesome. BJ was great and very patient with my 8 year old son who had a little fear of heights. Overall the experience was awesome and we will recommend and use Zion Adventure Company again.

Dear ZAC,
You folks at Zion Adventure Company really do a great job. Lots of good information about Springdale and Zion NP. You guys and gals are the place to rent Narrows gear, get shuttle rides, and even provide a place to which to send replacements for lost drivers' licenses, and get info about great hikes around the area. I've been a customer since 2004 and have never had any complaint whatsoever. Special thanks to Dave and Anna for their help in 2011.

Dear nice folks at Zion Adventure Company,
My husband, Bart Mayer, spent a year designing and planning a backpack trip for his brothers in Utah. They rendezvoused in Zion (from Vermont, New Hampshire, and New York) and were looking forward to your shuttle the next morning. As you might remember, one of the brothers took quite ill, with fluid around his heart, and was admitted to a medical center in St. George. When he was released a few days later, they all flew home. He is doing better, but the trip was a chaotic disaster. I would like to thank you for your compassion and kindness. You called me, the emergency contact, to figure out what was going on. You understood. You reimbursed us. You were the best part of the trip. I somehow doubt they will do it again, but if they do, WE know who we will be calling.
Thank you so much,
Amy Howe and Barton Mayer

First as small business owners ourselves its great to see a well run business with top notch service and employees that love what they are doing. They are passionate about their job and enjoy sharing that passion with others. We chose a full day canyoneering trip with Zion Adventure. Our guide was Scott Williams. Lets just call him the "Canyoneering Whisperer" what was so cool is that he showed you the ropes (literally and figuratively) and then gave you the confidence to make your own decisions and believe in yourself. Zion Adventure Company and Scott gave us a physical and spiritual experience. We are still on a high.

Shelley,
Missed you twice in the office last week, but it was good to speak with you prior to our arrival. My son and I had a great time hiking the East Rim Trail, and then The Narrows the next day, on what I was told was only the second day it was open this summer. Of course, our Zion Adventures equipment only made for a more comfortable and safe trip. I am normally in the area during the late summer/early fall and so it was a real treat to have the water level at the stage (134 CFS). Near as we could tell, we were the only hikers to go to Big Springs that day, as we saw no one going up or down after Wall Street. Thanks again for all of your support in the past, and for providing the equipment for another great adventure last week. Zion will always hold a special place in my heart, and it was particularly special to be able to introduce my son to its wild beauty and grace.

My brother and I spent a week in St. George with my sister, Lisa Bounds, a St. George resident. Lisa took us to ZAC and got us going on the Narrows trail early, first thing on July 6th. But I think it was Anna who really got us going. Your staff was most attentive, helpful and kind. She even bandaged a scrape on Lisa's arm when we returned our hiking gear. I felt we were not only doing business with you, but also having fun. Thanks again for facilitating an amazing life experience. There is a friendly staff great attitude going on at ZAC. Thanks again.

Dear Amanda and Shelley,
Thank you very much for all your help last week. Your suggestions and the dry suits that you rented us worked well in Heaps - they kept us warm at all times! Heaps was incredible: a lot of swimming and great fun. We had an awesome time canyoneering and hanging out in Zion. Unfortunately, my vacation is over and I am back at Stanford. I hope it will not be too long before I return to Zion. Thanks again for everything and thumbs up to Zion Adventures.
All the best,

Decided last week to make the 4th of July weekend an adventure, so loaded up the car and drove from San Diego to Zion to hike the narrows. I've rented tubes here years ago so i thought Id try the crazy water shoes for the Narrows. Reserved 2 pairs on Friday for a Saturday trip. Staff was friendly and very accommodating. They answered our questions and provided a great deal of knowledge on the hike. Another plus is even though the parking in zion was full, the shuttle stop is just across the street! Next time in Zion, I will go back!

Shelley,
Thank you so much. Amanda was amazingly helpful, extremely cheerful, and welcoming to me and my group. We go on a lot of excursions around California, Colorado, Zion, and Yosemite, and have come into contact with a lot of adventure staff, and gear rental members.
In my personal experience and opinion, Amanda went above and beyond in Guest service to make sure that we all knew what we were doing, were well equipped, and followed up with us when we got back. I work as a teacher at a High School and also at the Disneyland Resort in California so I do a lot of interaction with Guest service and I wanted to send you a quick note to say that Amanda embodies all of the qualities and attributes of a fantastic Guest service member.
It was a pleasure to be able to do business with the Zion Adventure Company and thanks to our experience with Amanda, we will definitely be coming back time and time again to rent from you!
Thank you for your time,

Dear ZAC,
Thank you for making our family trip to Zion an experience we will not soon forget. Not being the most adventuresome family, we had no idea what to expect when we booked an afternoon of climbing. Your "Family Rock" outing gave us the perfect opportunity to stretch ourselves as we learned new skills. With Calvin's calm manner and expertise, we soon gained confidence in our abilities. Not only are we already planning a return trip to Zion, hoping to hike the Narrows, and enjoy more climbing (all with the help of your amazing staff), but we've also discovered within ourselves a new eagerness to challenge our self-imposed boundaries, seeking new advenutres at home as well. We will recommend ZAC to all our friends and look forward to trying new ZAC courses during our future trips to the Zion area.
Thank you,

Dear Zion Adventure Company,
This is for Bill and Lanell who took the time to show a class of college students an awesome time canyoneering. I appreciate that they gave us the opportunity to figure out challenging situations on our own and provided further guidance when we were unsure and asked. I still feel ready to take on the world and whatever it has to give me. :) Thank you for an experience I will not soon forget!

Zion Adventures,
Merry Christmas! Last Labor Day, my girlfriend and I hiked down The Narrows. We used you guys to rent hiking sticks, shoes, and socks. We also got a lift to the trailhead on less than a day's notice. We drove to Zion from San Diego with no camping reservations or firm plans. You and your staff made our experience perfect. We're planning another trip and are hoping to bring another couple or two along to share the amazing experience.
Thank you very much for being so helpful and friendly, without a doubt you made our trip. See you soon!
Happy Holidays,

Hi ZAC Staff -
Just a quick note before the year ends to say thank you so much for a fantastic experience in early November. Several of you helped outfit and shuttle me for a top down overnight hike through the narrows. It was one of the most interesting, challenging and rewarding experiences of my life. I literally had the canyon all to myself for a day and a half, and was thoroughly prepared and confident thanks to you.
You also helped my wife Susan purchase some new layers for a colder than expected bit of weather while we were camping in South Campground. She says thanks, as well.
If you'll reply with an email address to which I can attach a few photos of the narrows, I'm glad to share them. You're more than welcome to use them for any promotions or brochures for which you think they might be helpful. There's one of me getting off the river at the Temple of Sinewava featuring your gear I'd like to send at least as a thank you.
Meanwhile, thanks again and best wishes for a happy holiday season. Looking forward to seeing you again in the future.
Best,
Bob Ryder

Dear ZAC staff,
Thank you for all your help. My 2 friends and I hiked the Zion Narrows yesterday and the Dry Pants package kept us warm and dry. We are convinced that we would have been miserable without it. Every employee I e-mailed and spoke to was very helpful and friendly. My friend was impressed that when we returned our gear, the lady asked us how we enjoyed our trip. You really care and it shows. I will definitely recommend you to any friends visiting the Zion area.

Dear Zion Adventure Company,
I wanted to express my sincere thanks for a most memorable experience this summer. I booked a full day canyoneering trip for my family in July. We set out with Steve and Hank on what turned out to be our best family adventure. Before we headed out, they made sure we had everything we might need from shoes to camera cases. We were challenged physically and mentally, all the while having so much fun. The following day we hiked the Narrows and thank God your staff recommended we rent the water shoes and sticks. Without them, we could not have enjoyed this beautiful hike. I must say I was a bit uncertain as to how this trip would go over with my husband, two daughters (16 and 13), and son (14). I can't put into words how every one of us enjoyed this trip. My children talk about it all the time and say they can't wait to go back. I highly recommend Zion Advenure Company and hope to return soon. Thank you again for your important part in our most memorable family trip! And special thanks to Steve and Hank!

Dear ZAC,
Before last Friday, I had never heard of you. Since then, you have helped change my life! I haven't hiked for about 12 years, back in the Marines. I stay in decent shape but long hikes and I have not seen eye-to-eye for quite some time. My buddy read a magazine article Thursday night about Zion Narrows and proposed a spontaneous trip to me on Friday. The catch...we had to leave right after work to do it in a 3-day weekend.
I understand the risk involved in last minute trips to the wilderness, and was a little uneasy about it. I agreed though, and spent the day researching the internet on The Narrows, top-down overnight. Luckily during my search, I stumbled onto your website and my eyes were opened.
Your site had all the info I needed, including the most important things like drysuits, 5-10 shoes, and the walking stick. When we arrived, it was a pleasure to do business with you. The staff did as good a job as they could juggling gear returns, looky-loo's, and gear issue. A fine job indeed.
I can say with all honesty, that anyone planning to travel the Zion Narrows without first stopping at your store, is missing out on the key ingredient. Without your equipment, I would have been "that guy" stuck in the canyon with inferior and improper gear. The Narrows is no joke, and the right gear gives you the opportunity to look around and enjoy the beauty, not stare at waterlogged hiking boots and wet clothes.
I don't know how the canyon was ever hiked before 1996.
Respectfully,

To Zion Adventure Company,
In mid-July 2010, I visited Zion National Park and stayed at the Cliff Rose Hotel. I had previously researched "The Narrows" and your company, and had made reservations for equipment to hike the narrows prior to my arrival. Since I am not an active hiker and am 50, I was rather intimidated, yet determined. While in your store, I met the delightful and intelligent young lady who had made my equipment reservations, Charlotte Vaillancourt. She was instrumental in fitting me with the proper equipment along with giving me instructions how to use the various items. Due to her knowledge and professionalism, I knew what to expect, was totally prepared for all the things I encountered, and had all the right equipment. I not only hiked up to the end of the main vein of the Narrows, but also to the end of the side vein also. I hiked for over 8 hours and had what I consider to be one of the most extraordinary days of my life. I look forward to hiking the Narrows again.
Sincerely,
John Murray

Zion Adventures:
I want to thank Zion Adventures for providing some fantastic fun this summer.
First off, Steve Woodford, our shuttle guide in June (Trans Zion hike with the James Garner party), was fantastic. His information and suggestions were spectacular. Because of him, I returned later this summer.
At the end of July, I brought my daughter (11) back to Zion to exposure her to the great outdoors. Steve had suggested a full-day family adventure in Water Canyon should do the trick, and it did. Rob Schwarzmann….GOLDMINE! What a guide! What a person! I guess we were fortunate just to have the three of us for one FANTASTIC DAY! Starting with a “challenge” he’ll explain with photos I recently sent, he and my daughter processed the challenges and solved the problems with a little time and perseverance. I guess that changed the day a little bit for us. He kicked the day up a couple of notches. Rob was professional, SAFE, paid attention to detail, and, most importantly, paid very close attention to Hayley to ensure her comfort level was high and that she enjoyed herself. It was great to see her bond with him and allowed me to thoroughly relax and enjoy myself as well.
This trip included a horseback ride into Bryce Canyon that was recommended by one of your ladies at the desk. I must say that you sell FUN and you have chosen the right people to do it. Daniel (coming down from his illness) was fun to deal with the day before and Rob even shared his comments on the computer.
From the reservations with Sarah to the final goodbyes, this was an excellent experience my daughter and I will cherish forever. We will be back! My best regards to your entire staff and safe adventures, always.

Dave Buckingham,
Thank you for handling the refund. It has been a real pleasure working with everyone at Zion Adventure. Charlotte and Amelia were very easy to work with in handling my reservations (and subsequent questions) for the shuttle and footwear package. With a group of 12, it was a challenge to coordinate obtaining the Narrows back country permit with the shuttle service, but the ZAC group was really helpful in assisting me through
the process. Anna went so far as assuring our group had a specific shuttle on Sunday morning as I had weather related challenges getting the hiking permit.
Unfortunately, I did not catch the name of the girl who helped us out through the footwear rental and Narrows video, but she and Anna were also very pleasant and easy to work with as well. Even though we didn't get to make our top down hike because of the road conditions, we had a great time in Zion. We'll be back again some day to try again and therefore should be visiting ZAC; (which by the way we rented equipment from you in 2000, when a smaller group hiked Orderville Canyon).
Thanks again. Please pass along my comments to management as well as those who helped us out. Sometimes I think in this day and age, people can be too quick to complain and not quick enough to say thanks.
Regards,
Brendan O'Neil

Dear Zion Adventure Company,
Thanks for an absolutely fantastic day rappelling in Water Canyon. We knew this canyon only through topo maps, and were thrilled when we learned this would be our goal. We had no idea this would be a day so full of adventure, of acquiring so many totally new skills and knowledge of canyoneering, and of becoming intimate with a place that must be described as sacred in its beauty. We have backpacked in canyon country for years, but this will remain as one of the most singularly exciting times we have had. Thanks to Rob and Kate for being so thorough and patient with two essentially nonathletic souls. The whole experience went beyond the merely thrilling and made us even more aware of what it is to be totally alive. We will unhesitatingly share our enthusiasm for your company, as it is clear that your mission embodies so much.
Sincerely,

My family and I spent an absolutely wonderful day exploring The Narrows with Sarah Stratton on Thursday, July 8. Sarah was an incredible guide! She was fun, friendly, personable, safety-conscious, professional, and full of interesting facts and tidbits about the canyon. My kids were mesmerized by everything she had to offer. Sarah made the hike THE highlight of our three week vacation out west... which says a lot because our entire vacation was one of highlights. You are very lucky to have her as an employee. Thank you!!!

Thanks so much for all your help when the four of us guys were there a month ago! It was two of our first times exploring the canyons and your expert advice and great equipment were very helpful! When I showed my wife the 1,500 photos I took while down there she really wanted to be there too! We have decided to make a trip there, just the two of us, for the last weekend in October (31st through Nov 3). I'm sure that you will be one of our first stops there when we arrive! Will you be there for us to speak with?

Thank you for the recent superior service at your store. We rented equipment for our Narrows hike and have nothing but good things to say about your service. The rental process was smooth and well organized. Our helper, Amelia, was very enthusiastic and helpful. The orientation video was very informative. The equipment was fabulous and I don't know how people do without it. The return process was quick and organized. Overall, a wonderful experience.

Charlotte,
I just wanted to write you a quick note to thank you, as well as Danielle and Calvin, for our unforgettable experience at Zion. Every interaction with Zion Adventure Company, from the reservation until the completion of the trips, was handled in the most professional and courteous manner. Your help previous to the trip was key in ensuring we were adequately prepared for the adventures we planned.
As for the guides, there are not enough words to express our gratitude to Danielle and Calvin. Not only did they demonstrate a level of expertise that gave the group supreme confidence, but they both have a special, and impressive, way of dealing with kids that was a great example to us as parents. Both trips were challenging for all in the group, which was something we did not expect. It's not easy to make adventures like these challenging to both a 9 year-old and and 48 year-old but somehow you guys do it.
The tubing was also a lot of fun, and the staff that coordinated it was just as helpful as everybody else in the company. Our only regret is that we didn't spend more time in Zion, which would have given us the chance to participate in some of your other trips. I will happily recommend ZAC to any friends or acquaintances that may be headed to Zion in the future. We spent a lot of time planning this family vacation and you guys made it truly unforgettable by exceeding our expectations in every way.
Thanks again on behalf of our family,

Mr. Zambella,
I just wanted to share my experience with Zion Adventrue Company with you in order to provide some feedback.
First, when I was planning our trip to Zion a few months ago, I sent out my email, phone number and address to several guiding organizations around the Zion region. Within 24 hours, I heard back from your company. I still have not heard from any others!!!
Second, when we had questions about what we wanted from our guides, Charlotte communicated with them on our behalf and we were easily able to obtain the answers we needed. At one point she even opened up a direct line of communication to our soon-to-be climbing guide. She even recommended places to eat and to see on our journey.
Third, when we arrived in Zion, we stopped in to make sure we had all our ducks in a row. Bailey was there with a smile, so excited to see us, and made us feel so at home.
Fourth, we had an amazing canyoneering day with Scott Williams who also introduced us to our climbing guide, Calvin. Scott was able to challenge my wife mentally within minutes of our introduction, and was able to challenge me physically in the canyon. We had a BLAST!!!
Fifth, we went climbing with Calvin who taught us about the differences between east and west coast ratings. When my wife experienced a moment of defeat, Calvin was very supportive and made wise decisions. He was also able to bring my wife back into the action by setting a toprope on a climb within her comfort zone. He also set me up on a toprope that allowed me to stretch my abilities. He then recommended a hike which we took the next day and found to be absolutely perfect for us!
Sixth, and the icing on the cake... during our trip, our battery in our camera died. We remembered that your guides used the same cameras so we took a shot in the dark to see if someone could charge our battery for a few hours. We were so taken aback by the helpfullness of your staff in helping us out.
I have been with several guides before in my life and I've worked with several guiding companies. You have an AMAZING crew at your company. Please send my thanks to Charlotte, Scott, Calvin, and Bailey and all the rest who helped make our trip a magical experience!!! I will be highly recommending your organization whenever I can.
Sincerely,
Jeff Wisnoski

P.S. If I had to give any constructive criticism, I would recommend having water coolers loaded before each trip in case people run out during their adventures (not that we did, but I was conservative because I knew all I had was all I got.)

Nick,
Once again I would like to thank you for a wonderful experience canyoneering last week. We are back in NY now and all of us agree that the best day of our entire vacation was the day spent with you. The kids especially loved the experience and talk about repelling every day. Alexa doesn't even go down our water slide but she did an amazing job (with your help and guidance) rappelling down some challenging cliffs. I am sending you a link of some pictures from our day with you. Feel free to use any of them on your web site or to show other families who are inquiring about Zion Adventures.
Thanks again,

Management of ZAC:
Our family of 10 (5 kids, 5 adults) took the all-day canyoneering course with Nick and Cory as instructors. The adventure was, as expected, a wonderful family challenge and learning experience. We have many moments that will stick with us for a lifetime. Most of all this was made possible by the instruction we received. I have a lifetime of experience supervising teachers in Canada and I was immediately struck by the instructional skills demonstrated. Nick knew our names before we had even left Springdale and Cory did soon after. The instructors created rapport, confidence, and a serious atmosphere in dealing with all of us, but particularily the children. Certainly the children were frightened and physically challenged at spots, but Nick and Cory talked them through it. They had a great sense of accomplishment by the end of the day. A final note to Nick: he had the courage to politely ask the parents to let the children manage the challenges on their own which resulted in the adults learning a great deal of how capable and responsible the kids can be without the parents involvement.
We were impressed and thank you Nick and Cory for an excellent experience.

Hi Nick,
I'm sure that you hear this all the time, but our full day of canyoneering with Cory and Scott was the best part of our vacation. The 5 of us just loved this opportunity that your team helped us with. Although this was Scott and Cory's first time to work together, you would never know it. They were a great team. Scott really has a great personality and we appreciated (and used a little) of Cory's mountaineering experience (my 2 boys did some downclimbing with him).
One more thing... We received the pictures that Scott took and they were just fantastic. What a nice touch to get a disk with pictures of our experience on it. Please tell Scott that the pictures came out great.
Thank you again. You have a great team, run a very professional operation, and really provide a great experience to your customers. We'll be back.

ZAC Staff,
We wanted to write to you, to say thank you for an unforgettable tour. Scott and Calvin were some of the best tour guides we have ever had anywhere. They did an amazing job of teaching us exactly what we needed to do, and how to overcome our nerves about canyoneering for the first time - while still feeling like we were always having a great time. We learned so much from them. They really made us feel like it was our experience just as much as theirs, and they weren't just informing us what to do. We will recommend your company and Scott and Calvin to anyone.
