Overview

We have a deep passion for the history of this area. Expect to learn about the natural landscape, but also about the Native American history and the relationship between the Paiute and the Mormon settlers in the late 1800s.

We also customise each tour to the ability of our clients. We can do a primarily driving tour with small hikes or add more robust hikes for those who want to climb hills and get out there.

We help people see another side of Zion National Park without the crowds. We do not travel inside Zion, however we will be surrounded by the park and the views are amazing.

Please note that we have a MINIMUM requirement of 2 people. Thank you.

Activity itinerary

Smithsonian Butte Back Country Byway
  • 3h
We will begin our journey driving up from Hurricane, UT towards Gooseberry Mesa. Once we turn on to this road we will travel 10 minutes down a 4x4 dirt road to a parking spot. There is about a 15 minute hike on a dirt trail to a petroglyph wall. We will then drive on to Wire Mesa and do another 15-30 minute hike. This is a well established trail and good for beginner hikers. There are epic views of Zion from the Mesa. Excellent for panoramic photography.
Grafton Ghost Town
  • 30m
Next we drive down the mountain on a 4x4 road, ending up at Grafton Ghost town. We will have a quick walk about the ghost town and cemetary, then drive back towards our starting point.
