Zion Outfitter
Rental and retail outfitter at Zion's pedestrian entrance in Springdale, with Narrows gear packages, bike rentals, showers and laundry.
Sitting at the pedestrian entrance is the entire advantage: Zion's main canyon is served by a mandatory shuttle for most of the year, and visitors walk in from Springdale rather than drive. Narrows gear packages, bike rentals, and — unusually for an outfitter — showers and laundry all follow from that position, because the Narrows leaves people wet, silted and a long way from a change of clothes.
How it works
The Narrows is the Virgin River itself, walked upstream through a slot canyon where the walls close to a few dozen feet apart and the river is the only trail. That is why the gear packages exist: canyoneering boots, neoprene socks and a walking staff in warm months, and a drysuit in cold ones, because a person spends hours wet in water that stays cold year-round. Flash flooding is the real hazard, and it can come from a storm miles outside the canyon.
More on this: the Zion Narrows and the Zion shuttle. See every listing under Guided Tours & Outfitters.
