Via ferrate represent a major attraction for climbers and hikers in Europe and around the world. There are only a handful in the US and we designed and constructed a unique one just outside Zion National Park. Shorty Town is particularly special because it's located in a remote area and we limit the number of visitors so it's rare to see others outside your trip group. If you already have some experience climbing via ferrata, don’t hesitate to book this trip. If this is your first time, don't count yourself out. We love introducing via ferrata to first-timers! Our professionally accredited guides have been trained by certified educators to facilitate your technical introduction. Unlike rock climbing, there is little technical skill needed to climb a via ferrata. This is a one-of-a-kind experience on the only known modern Italian-style via ferrata in the United States. Come enjoy the views of Oak Creek Canyon and Eye of the Needle's™ waterfall - something most will never see.
