In the winter of 1996, we visited Zion for the first time. Standing at the end of the Riverside Walk, we peered up into the Narrows, deeply intrigued by the beauty and mystery the canyon held. Held off by the cold February water, we drove back to Springdale to rent gear for the hike upstream. To our surprise, nobody in town offered cold-weather hiking equipment for the Narrows. "It's too cold right now," they said, "Come back in the summertime." On the plane ride home, we envisioned equipment that would make the Narrows hike possible year-round...

When Zion Adventure Company opened in August of 1996, we were the first to offer gear and information to help people hike the Zion Narrows safely and comfortably during ANY season of the year. Over the years, we have designed, tested, and improved our canyon footwear, drysuits, and backpacks to become the ultimate companions for your Narrows hike. Our seasonal rental packages, combined with our informative Narrows Pre-Orientation Session, help you make the transition from a trail hiker to a confident and competent beginning canyoneer.
