Wilderness Group Size Limits

Larger groups result in larger impacts. Trails in Zion Wilderness have a group size limit in order to protect the wilderness character of the area. These limits are strictly enforced. Groups can have a maximum of 12 people that share the same affiliation (e.g., club, scout group, colleagues, family, friends, or a combination thereof).

Groups that exceed these limits may not split up and visit the same drainage or wilderness trail on the same day, but they may split up and visit different areas.

Leave No Trace

Please follow Leave No Trace principles while in the park. If you are on a trail, be prepared to pack out any human waste, toilet paper, diapers, and hygiene products. Human waste disposal bags are highly recommended to transport solid waste. Always use the restroom before hiking. Kolob Canyons Visitor Center has restroom facilities and water filling stations. Pit toilets are located at the Taylor Creek Trailhead, South Fork parking lot, and at the Kolob Canyons Viewpoint. 

To protect wildlife, pets are not permitted on wilderness trails. The only trail that allows pets is the Pa'rus Trail.

 

Trail Descriptions

All of the hikes listed here are out-and-back hikes. Hikers do not need to travel the full distance, and they may turn around at any point. For detailed information on trail accessibility, please visit our Trail Access Information page.
