Did you know October is National Down syndrome awareness month!? Please help support getting folks with Down syndrome into the outdoors by finding companies like ours who believe EVERYONE belongs outside.

Picture of my sister and our sons hiking in 2015. Zach, her is on her back on the right. Also very proud of my sister who just opened GiGi's Playhouse Portland, the first DS achievement center in the Northwest.

Speeding toward the end of another year! Thank you all for supporting my little woman owned business. Your reviews, referrals and enthusiasm for my guide business and campground matters. Please leave a review on TripAdvisor or Google reviews if you have ever been out guiding with my company. And tell all of your friends we have Angel’s Landing passes left for October and November! The weather is still amazing and warm in Utah. After fall we quiet down and take a little winter break. Hope you are enjoying your fall. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g57038-d21348828-Reviews-Land_Beyond_Zion_Tours-La_Verkin_Utah.html

Who loves dinosaurs? 🦖🦕

Southern Utah has a rich dinosaur history, with fossils dating back to the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. Discoveries include tracks, bones, and even a unique dinosaur, the Utahraptor.

The region’s dramatic exposed rock layers provide valuable insights into the prehistoric past. We often find tracks on our hikes like the ones in this post that can be found on the Mesa just down the road from Zion National Park.

Our area has fossils of various dinosaurs, including sauropods like Apatosaurus, theropods like Allosaurus, and ornithopods like Camptosaurus.

Near Zion National Park, particularly in the Moenave Formation, there are well-preserved dinosaur tracks. These tracks primarily belong to theropods and ornithopods. The region has revealed footprints from dinosaurs like Dilophosaurus and smaller, three-toed tracks that are likely from different species of theropods.

Want to go Dino track hunting with us? Book a tour today!

Are you ready to challenge yourself with the awe-inspiring journey up Angel's Landing in Zion National Park? We can help you get there! 🏞️🧗‍♂️ Did you know that this iconic trail is not only known for its stunning red rock landscape but also its daring heights? Have a go at Walter's Wiggles then brave the chains with sections as narrow as 2 feet wide and 500-foot drop-offs on either side. This hike is not for the faint-hearted! 😱 Named after its perceived difficulty, Angel's Landing offers a challenge that rewards you with unparalleled views of the Virgin River, Zion Canyon, the start of the Narrows and beyond. If you are lucky you might see a condor or 2 soar past you and look out for chipmunks who like to climb into packs! 🌄

Fun fact: This is a bucketlist hike and known as of the most popular and thrilling hikes in the United States! This hike requires a permit and so you have to enter the lottery to do it. OR you can book a guided trip with us! We are the most inclusive and affordable hike tour company permitted to guide in Zion.

Thanks for the love Dovetail Workwear

Tell us about Land Beyond Zion. I started guiding in 2019 in the Zion area. At first I was leading retreats, but then when COVID hit, I realized that wouldn’t be an option for a few years, so I transitioned into private guiding. Obviously like most outdoor activities, hiking was something everyone...

We love that indigenous people had common languages through sign language!

Native American sign language: Illustrated guides to 400 gestures
The illustrations below showing how to communicate using Native American/”Indian” sign language, come from two vintage sources — one in the ’50s, and the other (more comprehensive guide) from the ’20s.
Indian sign language (1954)
From The Golden Digest, Issue 1 (1954)
Once we had many Indian tribes in our country. They did not all speak the same language. But with sign language, one tribe could understand another. Here are some things they would say. Words shown: Sunset, yes, I/me/my, go/go away, horse/horse rider, buffalo, man, rising sun, tipi, you, night

Have you ever seen a Petroglyph? These are the Native American carvings left by the Paiute 300-1000 years ago throughout the Zion area. This group of people is nearly gone due to disease and migratory land being taken over by pioneer settlers over 100 years ago. Petroglyphs and pictographs (paintings) can be found throughout the Zion area. If you do find any please be respectful and do not touch them, leave anything in the area (I’ve found candles that people have burned as offerings at sacred walls, which is not cool!!!) or tag your photos. It’s important to protect these sites!

Other things you can do to keep these sacred walls safe:

1. Turn your phone to airplane mode when taking pics so they aren’t geotagged.
2. Pick up any trash you find at the location.
3. Don’t share these spots with the world. Be mindful of who you tell about them.
4. If you find arrowheads or pottery leave it be or even hide it near where you found it.

Help keep these sacred spaces, sacred. Thank you for caring about Indigenous history and preserving it!

Go check out Pipe Springs National Monument to learn more about the Paiute in this area.
