The 10 Best Walking Tours in Utah, United States

December 14, 2021 Mikaela Didonna

Welcome to “The Greatest Snow on Earth” – Utah’s paradise for all outdoor enthusiasts! As host of the 2002 Winter Olympics, Park City knows how to entertain winter fun seekers. Snowboarders and skiers head for miles of spectacular slopes with deep fluffy powder and breathtaking mountain views. The Olympic Park provides family-friendly ski programs, rides and shows. Alta, Sundance, Snowbird and Brighton are other popular destinations for cross country and Alpine skiers. Those alluring snowy slopes turn to rolling wildflower fields in the summer. Golfing, fishing, horseback riding and water sports replace chilly outdoor sports adventures. Corral the family, pack a picnic and catch one of the ski lifts for an afternoon of hiking or mountain biking along scenic trails. Head to Salt Lake City, where Temple Square hosts millions of visitors a year. Bryce Canyon and Arches National Park are famous for surreal landscapes from horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters to unusual rock formations and hundreds of natural sandstone arches. Closer to home, wander along the quaint main streets of mountain villages to browse, shop and enjoy lunch at an outdoor café. At the end of the day, head home for an outdoor barbecue and an evening of games. Home rentals blend privacy, space and comfort with the cost-saving advantage of eating some meals at home.

Do it like a local! Follow along in your SUV / 4WD on this incredibly scenic family fun canyon trail. Vistas for miles before we begin our descent through switch backs, "pucker pass" and under a giant fallen rock. Further down we will see a balanced rock, jug handle arch and the Colorado river. This is an easy trip that can be customized or added to another drive or hike.

A great full day trip with John on April 18th. We only had a few days in Moab and wanted to maximize our experience. John certainly provided that with a combination of hikes with stunning views and incredible terrain and two different 4x4 drives. One down from Dead Horse Point State Park into the valley, the second very exciting and technical drive through a section of Hell's Revenge 4x4 trail. John took us to a number of sites with petroglyphs and pictographs as well as several days worth of vistas arches, alcoves and towers. Throughout the day, John was friendly, professional and very informative with the history and knowledge of the area. To top it off, John is a great driver doing things with the Jeep that I didn't was possible. Would definitely tour with John again and would recommend him to anyone looking for something off the beaten path.

I had such a good experience last year I brought my family back to Vegas just to take some Bindlestiff tours. We went to Death Valley with Tim and it was phenomenal. We all had a great time. It’s basically a sampler platter of quick experiences but that’s perfect for a family with kids. We got to see so much packed into one day. Tim is an excellent guide: friendly, knowledgeable, passionate. The van is very comfortable with plenty of cold water, and lots of restroom stops if you need that. I highly recommend this tour when you’re in vegas, you won’t regret it.

This was a phenomenal experience! My only mistake was booking it on our first day in Zion because it could not be topped. Not only were the views breathtaking, but the guides were incredibly knowledgeable and personable. My son unexpectedly became very nervous and upset on the first repel. The guides did a tremendous job of walking him through it. They even clipped in and stayed by his side, talking him through it. When he finished, he was so proud. We spent almost two weeks in SW Utah, exploring all sorts of parks. This adventure was the favorite for both my children and myself. BRAVO!

What a phenomenal experience we had with Neil of Desert Solitude. Neil customized a wonderful excursion for our party of ten people. With four adults and six boys (ages 8-16), Neil had to work hard to ensure everyone had a great time, and we sure did. We visited Arches and Canyonland National Parks all in one day. Our group was made up of skilled hikers/runners to busted up knee and bad achilles kind of hikers (me). Neil claimed from the onset that he prided himself on being flexible, and this was no lie. I took more moderate hikes while the rest of the group did the more challenging ones. Everyone was satisfied. Neil has an easy, affable, and informative charm about him that makes each person feel at ease. My 14-year-old son referred to Neil as a "G.O.A.T." This is high praise from a teenage boy. We will most assuredly use Neil again when we return to Utah. Wish we could give him 6-stars!
