Zion Guide Hub — Attraction in Springdale

HIGHLY RECOMEND Zion Guide Hub and our guide Grant!!!!!! There aren't enough words to explain how FABULOUS our canyoneering experience with Grant was or how easy it was to book through Zion Guide Hub. Not only was it easy to book our experience online, but they also offer private canyoneering packages (vs doing it with a larger group of people). The private session allowed Grant to tailor the experience to my fiancé and i's athletic capabilities and level of desired adventure. As far as guides go, we couldn't have asked for anyone better than Grant. Not only was he incredibly professional, friendly, knowledgeable about the land and his craft, and easy and fun to spend time with - but it was also clear from the moment we started to gear up that he was an expert in the field of canyoneering and someone who prioritized safety above all else. On top of that, he had an incredibly calm, grounded spirit that allowed my fiancé and I to put our minds at easy and truly embrace the adventure he had lied out in front of us - talking us through each part of it with patience and encouragement. He helped push both of us out of our comfort zone in a way that allowed us to get more out of our time canyoneering than we could have asked. Of everything we did during our time in Zion - including Angels Landing and The Narrows - this was by far our favorite activity. We will absolutely be back to Zion and when we make it back, we will be sure to book multiple adventures with Grant! If you are looking to immerse yourself in the beautiful slot canyons and landscape authentic to Zion while also going on an adventure you won't forget with someone who will encourage and guide you with safety, grace, calm and authentic appreciation for the priceless Zion land - then don't wait and book your canyoneering experience with GRANT at ZION...

Our guide Grant and his understudy Matt did a fabulous job of helping us (5 - 60 year old Floridians) have a wonderfully successful Angel's landing Hike. Grant has lots of experience in creating an environment that keeps you going at the right speed to maximize your adventure. From the beginning of the hike on the way up to Scouts Lookout, Grant spent a lot of time getting to know us, evaluating our physical abilities, and teaching us about the geological aspects of the area. After we left Scouts Lookout and completed the first section of chains we took our first stop in a big safe area. I asked a question... Is it okay for me to stop here and stay here and let the rest of the group continue on. I was 50:50 thinking my fear of heights was starting to become an obstacle I couldn't properly handle. He said absolutely you can stay here if you want and talk to all the groups that come thru. But he went on to tell me that I did really good in the last section, it doesn't get any harder, looking ahead can be too much to comprehend, if I just keep focused on each step and take one step at a time we can keep moving forward. If things go bad there are several other places ahead I could stop. He said your choice but I think your doing just fine. I was confident that he was being honest and understood me from all the conversations we had on the hike up to this point. I decided to keep moving forward. Both Grant and Matt kept a close eye on our whole group and we all ended making it to the top and had a wonderful experience. The whole group discussed after we left the Scout area on the way down how confident and comfortable we were from Grant's and Matt's guidance. They are AWESOME Guides. There was ZERO chance I would of made it without their guidance. Your new...

We did two hikes with these guys. In short, they were great. Here's the deal.

Tour 1: Tour through the narrows with Mark. Started early to beat the crowd which was effective and worth the 6 am alarm clock. Mark was a cool guy. The hike was totally customized for us and our level of activity. Shari V is pregnant so Mark made some suggestions to make the day easier and still get a lot accomplished.

Tour 2: Full day of hiking with Grant. Also, super cool guy. Grant was extremely knowledgeable about just about everything. We did a hike. In theory, me and Shari V could have done the same hike on our own but we felt like Grant was a major value add. He had tons of interesting and colorful commentary on everything from history to geology. And same as Mark, he rolled with our punches and customized the tour based on our energy level and ability.

We had a ton of fun with both of these guys. My only knock on Zion Guide Hub was on our first day, when we showed up a 7 am, it felt unorganized. Shop was barely open. There was a slightly older woman who kept asking who we were and whether we were taking the shuttle. The encounter made it seem like Zion Guide Hub didn't know who was who or who belonged where. In the end, everyone ended up in the right spot, but certainly, the check in process and initial engagement could use some polishing.

Our tour guides were great! They deserve the full 5 stars. I only docked ZGH a star based on the initial check in. I'd repeat with either tour guide. Mark and Grant both gave us safe, fun and...
