Water is the most important thing to remember in our climate. It is easy to get dehydrated and many visitors don’t take into consideration the extra water that they will need to consume. Even if it is cool outside, your body will require a lot more water than usual. We recommend that you bring large water bottles or CamelBak packs to keep water on you all the time.

All luxury camps include clean, RO filtered drinking water. We also provide reverse osmosis filtered water for our guests in the check-in office.

The Whole Guacamole Bike Trail, located on BLM land, offers mountain bikers a diverse and scenic experience. Just past Open Sky Zion at the top of the mesa where Dalton Wash Road ends, this trail features a mix of slickrock and singletrack paths, weaving through piñon and juniper woodlands.

With its varied terrain, the trail caters to intermediate riders, with certain sections presenting advanced technical challenges. Notably, e-bikes are not permitted on this trail. Riders are rewarded with stunning vistas of Zion's West Temple and Mount Kinesava. However, navigation can be tricky; it's essential to follow the cairns marking the route.

The trail spans approximately 9.8 miles, with an average completion time of about 3 hours and 21 minutes. Before setting out, ensure the trail is dry, as wet conditions can make certain sections hazardous. Always check current trail conditions and adhere to local guidelines to protect this beautiful area.
