Zion RappellingZion Ponderosa has recently finished construction on a 40-foot high climbing and rappelling wall. This wall is the biggest wall in Southern Utah and has charted climbs for both the beginning and advanced climbers. The wall is the centerpiece of Zion Ponderosa's new recreation facility that houses East Zion Adventures, the resort's recreation concessionaire. With over 20,000 square feet of indoor/outdoor climbing surface, the wall is the hot spot both in winter and summer months.

Following the rappel, guests will continue their trek with a 10 mile hike into the Zion Narrows through Orderville Canyon. Orderville Canyon is a beautiful slot canyon formed by millions of years of erosion by a tributary of the Virgin River. Hikers spend the majority of their hike walking through a small stream that runs the course of the canyon. At several locations in the Canyon, the stream forms small pools and waterfalls. Hikers must use their ingenuity to swim, forge, or circumvent these obstacles. During the last two miles of the hike, Orderville Canyon joins the main Zion Canyon Narrows Hike, which is formed by the North Fork of the Virgin River. Guests are met by a shuttle van at the Temple of Sinawava parking lot, in the heart of Zion National Park, as they finish their day long rappelling and hiking adventure.
