About
This is a rugged, fast paced, thriller to the top of Pine Knoll. Once there, we pull up a camp chair and watch the sun descend behind the towering cliffs of Zion National Park.
This completely customized Jeep Wrangler has open sides and is able to accommodate the entire family (up to 9 people).
The tour begins at the Adventure Center on the premises of Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort. After meeting your guide, we climb into the Jeep and buckle up to prepare for the ride. Now the fun begins! Maneuvering over large boulders and winding through the trees until we reach our destination at the top of Pine Knoll.
Pine Knoll offers a 360 degree view of the area, with Zion National Park spanning the western ridgeline. From here we watch the sun set behind the towering cliffs of Zion. After great pictures and a few snacks, we again climb into the Jeep and descend back down the mountain!
