East Rim Expeditions is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization based on the east border of Zion National Park in Southern Utah. Our goal is to inspire our participants to become thoughtful and competent leaders, adventurous and responsible outdoor enthusiasts, and environmentally aware citizens through outdoor adventure and wilderness travel. We call them Expeditions.

We offer backpacking and canyoneering expeditions that teach technical outdoor skills and promote adventure, growth, group communication, and respect for the natural world for high school and college-aged young adults, as well as one to three day trips for families and other groups. We backpack and canyoneer along Zion National Park's eastern border. Our programs are NOT for at-risk youth, but for young adults and other people that want to DREAM, EXPLORE and DISCOVER. Please view our Expeditions and read about our Custom Group Expeditions.




Our privately owned base camp is located on the East Rim of Zion National Park at approximately 6,500-feet above sea level. From our base camp, besides being able to stare directly into Zion Canyon, we offer youth summer programs - and programs for other groups - filled with exploration, adventure and learning, as well as similar pre-designed and custom expeditions for any group interested in our mission; such as public and private schools and other organizations.

We have a library at our base camp full of cool books on outdoor skills and living, , leadership, inspriation reading and more. People take them on our expeditions to read at night and learn cool stuff or to inspire themselves. Have a book you want to donate? Click here to e-mail us.
