ZION.
Big adventure.
More ways to enjoy it.

Four nights in an incredible Southern Utah house and three full days packed with options: epic Zion hikes, desert golf, UTVs, Sand Hollow, house competitions—or a little bit of everything.

Zion is the centerpiece. The rest of Southern Utah makes the trip even better.

The Point of the Trip

Get out of the routine.
Do something memorable.

The point is simple: get a good group of friends together somewhere incredible and spend four days doing the kind of stuff we’ll still be talking about years later.

Tackle Angels Landing. Play a spectacular desert golf course. Ride a side-by-side through red-rock country. Compete at pickleball, hit the pool, or spend an afternoon at Sand Hollow.

There’s no single right way to do this trip. We’ll have big group adventures, and enough great options around us for everyone to build a few days they’re genuinely excited about.

01
Signature Zion adventures

Angels Landing, Observation Point, the Narrows and unforgettable canyon scenery.

02
Way more than hiking

Desert golf, UTV riding, Sand Hollow, pickleball, basketball and more.

03
A house that’s an attraction

Pool, hot tub, sports court, putting green and plenty of room to hang out.

More Than Hiking

Pick your kind
of adventure.

This is the kind of place where you can have a completely different great day every day. Go huge in Zion, tee it up in the desert, get behind the wheel of a UTV, hit Sand Hollow, or stay home and turn the house into its own competition.

Angels Landing in Zion National ParkZion National Park

Go big in Zion.

Angels Landing, Observation Point, the Narrows and miles of red-rock canyon country give us several world-class ways to experience Zion. These are bucket-list views and the kind of hikes worth traveling for.

UTV riding on a dirt road in St. George, UtahSand Hollow / Southern Utah

Ride the desert.

Trade the hiking boots for a side-by-side and tear into Southern Utah’s red-rock country. Sand Hollow and the surrounding desert give us a completely different kind of adventure close to home base.

Optional activity · Rental/tour costs separate
Desert golf course with mountainsSouthern Utah Golf

Play incredible desert golf.

Black Desert, Sand Hollow and Copper Rock put championship-caliber golf against lava fields, red cliffs and huge desert views. A golf day here can be every bit as memorable as a trail day.

Optional activity · Tee times and greens fees separate
Blue desert reservoir surrounded by red rockSand Hollow

Hit Sand Hollow.

Red rock, blue water and wide-open desert make Sand Hollow another standout option. Boating, paddling, swimming and reservoir time give us an easy change of pace from the canyon.

Optional rentals separate · Water activities vary with seasonal conditions

Pickleball. Basketball. Bragging rights.

The house has its own air-conditioned indoor sports court for pickleball, basketball and volleyball. Late-night games, quick tournaments and plenty of opportunities for somebody to talk way too much trash.

Included with the house
Putting green and cornhole at the group houseAt the house

Turn the house into a tournament.

Putting, chipping, cornhole, pickleball and basketball give us plenty of ways to compete without driving anywhere. Add the pool and hot tub and the house becomes part of the entertainment, not just where we sleep.

The House Is Part of the Trip

Yes, this is where
we’re staying.

After a big day, we’re not disappearing into separate hotel rooms. We come back to our own private resort-style home base—with a huge pool, hot tub, indoor sports court, putting green, mountain views and enough room for the whole group to keep the night going.

One Trip. A Lot of Ways to Enjoy It.

Build the trip
that sounds great to you.

The best part of this location is the variety. We can split up, mix it up and still come back together every night.

A few guys can chase a big Zion hike while another group plays golf. Some can ride UTVs while others take a lighter day at Sand Hollow or stay back for pickleball, pool time and putting.

There’s enough here that nobody has to force an activity they’re not excited about—and nobody should run out of great things to do.

  • Want the bucket-list day?Go after Angels Landing, Observation Point or another big Zion route.
  • Want speed and adrenaline?Take a UTV / side-by-side into the Southern Utah desert.
  • Want competition?Golf, pickleball, basketball, putting or a full house tournament.
  • Want scenery without a grind?Explore Zion, Sand Hollow and the surrounding red-rock country at an easier pace.
  • Want a great day without leaving home?Pool, hot tub, sports court, putting green, patio and mountain views.

Three Zion Headliners

Three hikes worth
the trip by themselves.

These are the big Zion experiences on our radar—three completely different ways to see why this park belongs on a bucket list.

The iconic ridge

Angels Landing + West Rim

Climb the West Rim toward Scout Lookout as Zion Canyon opens up beneath you. Those with an Angels Landing permit can continue onto the legendary chains and one of the park’s most famous summits; Scout Lookout is an excellent destination on its own.

Take the East Mesa approach through the high country and finish at one of Zion’s biggest payoffs: a massive overlook looking down into the canyon with Angels Landing far below.

The river adventure

The Narrows

Step into the Virgin River and hike between canyon walls that rise hundreds of feet around you. It’s one of Zion’s signature experiences and unlike any normal trail you’ve done before.

Three headliners. Plenty more behind them.

We’ll finalize the exact trail lineup closer to the trip as permits and park conditions come into focus. The upside is huge: Zion and Southern Utah give us far more great options than we could fit into three days, so every day can still be a standout.

Tuesday to Saturday · April 20–24, 2027

Three full days.
A lot of ways to fill them.

We’ll start with a headline plan each day and build around what the group is excited to do. Some days we may all go together; other days we may split into smaller groups and meet back at the house.

Angels Landing + West Rim day.

Start the trip with one of Zion’s iconic routes: climb the West Rim to Scout Lookout, take in the canyon from above and, for permit holders who want the full experience, continue onto Angels Landing. Anyone wanting a different pace has golf, sightseeing and house options available.

Observation Point—or your own Southern Utah adventure.

Head for the huge view from Observation Point, trade the trail for UTVs in the desert, play a round at one of the area’s standout golf courses, or spend time at Sand Hollow. This is a perfect day to split up and do whatever sounds best.

The Narrows + one last big day.

Our river-adventure target is the Narrows—walking straight through the Virgin River between Zion’s towering canyon walls. If the river isn’t open, we’ll roll straight into another great Zion route or one of the many golf, UTV, Sand Hollow or house options nearby.

Before You Raise Your Hand

A few good questions.

What if hiking isn’t my main thing?

You’ll still have plenty to do. Golf, UTV riding, Sand Hollow, pickleball, basketball, putting, the pool, hot tub and easier sightseeing give the trip a lot more range than a hiking-only weekend.

How flexible is the daily plan?

Very. We’ll have headline group adventures, but nobody needs to do every activity. A hiking group, golf group and UTV group can all have a great day and meet back at the house that evening.

What are the biggest activity options?

Angels Landing and the West Rim, Observation Point, the Narrows, desert golf at courses such as Black Desert and Sand Hollow, UTV riding, Sand Hollow recreation, plus everything built into the house.

Are optional activities included in the $1,500?

No. The $1,500 estimate is for shared trip expenses. Optional individual activities are separate unless everyone participating specifically agrees otherwise.

What if a trail isn’t available?

We pivot to something else great. That’s one of the biggest advantages of this trip: Zion, the surrounding desert, golf, Sand Hollow and the house give us far more good options than we’ll have time to use.

Who is this trip really for?

Guys who want a break from the normal routine, a beautiful place to stay, some genuine adventure and several days hanging out with friends. Make it as active—or as relaxed—as you want.
