"Amazing trip with excellent guides!"

"Just returned from a girls trip to Zion and used Zion Guru for Narrows equipment and canyoneering. The equipment (neoprene socks, boots, walking stick) was great - my feet felt very cozy even though the water was 45 degrees. The walking stick proved to be very helpful too!!! We went canyoneering the next day - Joe and Brooks were our ("our" being 10 middle aged women) guides . They were amazing and went above and beyond to make us super comfortable doing something well outside our comfort zone. Four repels in a few hours. So amazing. Highly recommend!!!"

Rock Climbing: A Vertical Path to Body-Mind Connection

 

The connection of body, mind and spirit is practiced, humbled and perfected in climbing.  Like yoga on-rope, rock climbing allows you to live hundreds of moments in inches of progress. 

 
Even a first-time climber can experience enormous success on Day One.

You have a friend in Zion

Guru has roots in Sanskrit and Vedic traditions, meaning "dispeller of darkness" or "teacher." These bold ideas help shape the mission of Zion Guru: To help you see everyone is a Guru. Being in the outdoors, learning about one's self, one's limits, and one's abilities to overcome inspires self-learning and helping others to learn. At Zion Guru, we endeavor to tap into the pure energy source of Mother Earth to deliver customer-centric outfitting and events in ways which connect you with self and rekindle your love for nature. It's what we do for our friends and family, and what we do for you: help you find the Guru within.
