What you get
About this experience
Get away from the crowds and come experience an exhilarating guided tour of the highest vertical ascent Via Ferrata in Utah, including rock climbing (via ferrata style), multiple rappels, and some super fun scrambling through an amazing mini slot canyon, all on our privately owned land that we don't have to share with anyone. One of our experienced guides will lead you on a half day adventure ascending over 700 ft vertically on our custom designed Via Ferrata located on our very own private red and white rock faced cliff. Enjoy an absolutely stunning view of Orderville Valley and into Zion National Park with every step higher. Prepare to be wowed!! Special iron steps installed up the whole face of the rock make this activity possible for most guests over the age of 10. Being on time is very important. If you are more than 15 minutes late we will have to leave without you. We are on Mountain Time and an hour different than Las Vegas and Arizona.

You will feel like a champion!!
We did Via Ferrata with guides Jeff and Coleman. Each step of the way I was pushing my body but the guides were so helpful. Our whole group was cheering each other on. The views were spectacular but you don’t do it for the views. You do it for the exhilarating trip down. Serious adventure!!

Super fun!!
It was an incredible experience!
via Tripadvisor
Fun climb! We climbed up these metal ladders and then repelled down by walking down the cliff.
It was a really cool experience! Repelling and climbing were both really fun! I would recommend.

Why this scores 72
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
East Zion Elk Heart Cliffs Via Ferrata and Rappelling (3Hr): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zion National Park.
How much does East Zion Elk Heart Cliffs Via Ferrata and Rappelling (3Hr) cost?
+
Prices start at $179 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Zion National Park usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does East Zion Elk Heart Cliffs Via Ferrata and Rappelling (3Hr) take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Zion National Park is not rushed.
Is East Zion Elk Heart Cliffs Via Ferrata and Rappelling (3Hr) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 41 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Zion National Park, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule East Zion Elk Heart Cliffs Via Ferrata and Rappelling (3Hr)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is East Zion Elk Heart Cliffs Via Ferrata and Rappelling (3Hr) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book East Zion Elk Heart Cliffs Via Ferrata and Rappelling (3Hr)?
+
Around 14 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Zion National Park can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Zion National Park and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does East Zion Elk Heart Cliffs Via Ferrata and Rappelling (3Hr) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Zion National Park within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Zion National Park?
+
Zion trips centre on the Narrows and Angels Landing, canyoneering in slot canyons, e-bike rides along the scenic drive and Bryce Canyon combination days. Permit handling and gear rental inclusions are the biggest quality differences here. On Outty we rank every Zion National Park experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Award Winning UTV Slot Canyon Tour, East Zion 4 Hour Slot Canyon Canyoneering UTV Tour, East Zion Crimson Canyon Hike & UTV Adventure. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Zion National Park?
+
April to May and September to October. Summer means early starts. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Zion National Park?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
