What you get

    About this experience

    Explore hidden petroglyph sites and a mini-slot canyon on this 3 or ~5-mile (you choose) half-day adventure (2-4 hours) on the wild, less-traveled side of Snow Canyon State Park. DISCLAIMER: This rugged, off-trail tour crosses varied desert terrain —loose rocks, deep sand, uneven and slanted slick rock with light scrambling, frequent step ups and down and between 250ft and 650ft elevation gain (long route). At 3,500 feet, it requires moderate fitness and shoes with good tread. Not suitable for those with significant knee, hip, gait, or balance issues. Here's how a happy hiker described this tour: "We had a blast! Lydia knew all the best spots – there is no way we would have found these! Within minutes, we were climbing around the red rock like kids. Lydia brought us near the mysterious slot canyon, gave us a couple of hints, and let us discover 3 sets of amazing petroglyphs on our own—one of the coolest hikes I’ve done!" ~Robin, Carson City, Nevada

    A wonderful out of this time experience

    We had an amazing hike to the petroglyph site. Lydia was very knowledgeable, professional, sensitive to individual hiker’s needs. The petroglyphs were very impressive! Most highly recommended - fun and educational.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! It was my pleasure to take you and your group on the Secret Petroglyphs Hike Adventure!

    Hike

    Lydia was a wonderful guide. This hike was purchased as a gift for Christmas. Lydia was extremely helpful in adjusting our day and time of the hike to best accommodate our time and needs. She lead us through some beautiful part of of Snow Canyon trails. Would 100 % recommend her to guide you while hiking.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure guiding you two on the Secret Petroglyphs Hike Adventure and sharing the rare treat of the secret waterfall with you, too. It was gone—totally evaporated just 2 days later! (First time in 6 years.) We sure got lucky! Happy Trails & Adventuring!

    Hidden Gem and a Wonderful Guide

    I wanted to see something truly unique, and Lydia's Secret Petroglyph Hike delivered! She took me off the beaten path to discover incredible petroglyphs I never would have found on my own. It felt like a real adventure, and Lydia's enthusiasm made it even better. She's a wonderful guide and a wonderful human. She leads with knowledge and also observantly steps out of the scene when you want to sit, admire, and ponder. Don't miss the chance to go to this or other hidden gems with Lydia! 10/10!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind review of the hike, Bradley! It was my pleasure to take you off the beaten path on the Secret Petroglyphs adventure! Hope our paths cross again, so I can show you more hidden gems in and around St. George/Greater Zion. Happy Trails!

    Secret Petroglyphs Hike Adventure: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for St George.

    How much does Secret Petroglyphs Hike Adventure cost?

    +

    Prices start at $125 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in St George usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Secret Petroglyphs Hike Adventure take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 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 St George is not rushed.

    Is Secret Petroglyphs Hike Adventure worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in St George, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Secret Petroglyphs Hike Adventure?

    +

    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 Secret Petroglyphs Hike Adventure suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Secret Petroglyphs Hike Adventure?

    +

    Around 1 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 St George 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 St George and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Secret Petroglyphs Hike Adventure 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 St George 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 St George?

    +

    St George sits below Zion National Park: guided Zion day tours, canyoneering and slot canyon trips, Snow Canyon jeep runs, and golf and hiking through red rock desert. On Outty we rank every St George experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Greater Zion: Sand Hollow Dunes ATV Tour, Greater Zion's 4 Hour Adventure Rally, Kayak/SUP Tour: Birds, Beavers, Turtles, maybe even Cliff Jumping. 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 St George?

    +

    March to May and September to November. 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 St George?

    +

    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.
