For 30 years, Kim has been leading small private tours through Zion, Bryce Canyon, and Snow Canyon. His mix of humor, local insight, and genuine love for nature turns every hike or drive into an unforgettable experience.
Hi, I’m Kim. I’ve been a hiking guide in this area for more than 30 years, and I still think it’s the best job in the world. Every day I get to meet new people, share the trails I love, and spend time surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery on earth.
I know Zion, Bryce, and Snow Canyon like the back of my hand because I’ve hiked them at least a gazillion times (maybe one and a half gazillion). I’ve worked with destination spas, travel groups, and hundreds of private guests who wanted a relaxed, personal way to explore these parks.
When you hike or drive with me, you’ll get more than directions — you’ll get stories about the geology, the history, and the quirky things that make this corner of Utah so special. And if you’re lucky, you’ll hear one of the 300 jokes I’ve memorized along the way.
I’m licensed, insured, and certified in first aid and CPR, so you can relax and enjoy the adventure knowing you’re in good hands.
Every tour I offer is private and tailored to your comfort level. Some guests want an easy drive through the parks with plenty of photo stops. Others want to lace up their boots and hit the trails. Whether you’re after peace, adventure, or a little of both, I’ll help you experience Utah’s national parks at your own pace.
Walk through one of the most famous slot canyons in the world as the Virgin River winds between towering sandstone walls. This is my most popular tour and a must-do for first-time visitors to Zion.
