GUIDED​​ BACKPACKING
​

The Barracks 


Just beyond the eastern boundary of Zion National Park exists a deep and seldom explored canyon. The Barracks is a labyrinth of canyons which winds it’s way through layer after layer of beautiful sandstone. In its most constricted sections, travelers can link arms and touch both wall while the canyon’s shear walls tower hundreds of feet above. Isolated far from the chaos of Zion’s main canyon, The Barracks offers much the same experience but in a far quieter setting.

​
Route Detail: 

Prerequisites
The destinations we visit place hikers in a wondrous and remote setting; as such hikers will be required to carry the gear and food needed for the time we spend in the backcountry. Everyone in the group will need to be able to carry a pack, ranging from 20-30 lbs, over the course of the trip, during which we will cover between 15 and 20 miles of terrain. Terrain will range from sandy sun exposed washes to deeply entrenched canyons. Some sections of trail that we cover may require the use of hands and feet while making upward progress. While not technically demanding, those with acrophobic tendencies will need to be sure to take their time.

If you have any concerns with the above listed prerequisites we are happy to discuss options on a case-by-case basis.
What to Bring
  • Comfortable hiking footwear
  • Sandals for wearing around camp
  • Water bottles at least 3 liters per person
  • Sun protection (hats, sunglasses, sunscreen)
  • Two pairs of wool hiking socks
  • Synthetic or wool clothing
  • Personal hygiene items: toothbrush and toothpaste, etc.
  • Any required/prescribed medicine
  • A headlamp with fresh and extra batteries
  • A lightweight and warm jacket
  • Lots of snacks, i.e. salty snacks, candy bars, sports drink mix, etc.
  • Trekking poles (optional)
  • Waterproof jacket and pants (weather dependent)
Cancellation
  • ​More than 30 days prior to the trip will receive a full refund minus a 5% booking fee
  • 15 - 30  days prior will receive a 50% refund, 50%  store credit
  • 3 - 14 days prior will receive 50% store credit only
  • Trips cancelled within 48 hours of trip are responsible for full payment

Weather conditions do not permit clients to cancel trips unless ZAC determines conditions make the trip unsafe, at which point we will reschedule or offer a full refund. 

Refunds will be returned to the method of payment used at booking.

"Rich was an excellent guide, pacing the trip to meet our needs, maneuvering us over rockfalls, and leading the way through icy pools. Everyone I dealt with at Zion Adventure Company was highly professional and well-trained. So glad to learn that their expertise and services extend beyond Zion and into the surrounding area."
