Join Walker Wellness Retreats as we host an incredible four-night/five-day retreat in beautiful southern Utah! Come expand your knowledge of how to take care of one’s mind, body, and soul during this informative and fun wellness retreat!

Transportation from Salt Lake City International Airport to the retreat homes is included, as well as all planned activities and meals during your stay. Don't worry about any extra costs or hidden fees. Just sit back and relax.

We take food very seriously, and we know our guests do too. All meals are included during your stay, as well as snacks for your activities. We also offer gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options upon request. 

Every retreat features a private yoga instructor who offers multiple classes during your stay. All classes are optional, which means you can choose what you feel is right for you. 

Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon National Park contain some of the most spectacular hiking trails in the country. From Observation Point to the Narrows, there is something for you! 

While we aim to provide an incredible experience on our retreats, we want to clarify that we are not permitted to operate as official tour guides within Zion National Park or similar protected areas. National Park regulations require specific permits and certifications to guide hikes, which we do not hold. Instead, all hiking on our retreats is self-guided. We provide detailed information, recommendations, and resources to help you enjoy the trails safely and confidently. This approach allows us to focus on creating a holistic retreat experience, including wellness activities, accommodations, and other unique offerings, while respecting the park’s guidelines.

Our retreat homes are located just outside of Zion National Park and a short drive from Bryce Canyon National Park. We take you into the parks and drop you off where you need to go (no parking required). Entry to the parks is also included.

You deserve a little "me time." That's why each retreat has built-in leisure time so you can relax in the hot tub, journal, or take a nap. All activities are optional so that you can enjoy your retreat at your own pace.

We will be traveling in a large 12-passenger van as a group. Space is limited, so please pack light in smaller suitcases. We have washers and dryers available in the home, as well as laundry detergent.

We'll start the day with a morning yoga session before eating breakfast and packing our lunches for an optional day of hiking Observation Point on the east side of Zion National Park.

Embark on a breathtaking hike to Observation Point from the East Mesa Trailhead in Zion National Park. This moderately challenging trail offers stunning panoramic views of the iconic Zion Canyon, showcasing its dramatic cliffs and vibrant landscapes. As you ascend, keep an eye out for unique rock formations and diverse wildlife that call this area home. The hike, approximately 3.3 miles one way, rewards you with a view that feels like stepping into a postcard. Don't forget your camera, as the vistas are truly unforgettable. Experience the beauty of nature and the thrill of adventure on this remarkable trek!

This beautiful hike starts only 15 minutes from the retreat home and provides a stunning vista of Zion Canyon.

Bryce Canyon National Park offers a unique hiking experience through its stunning landscape of red rock hoodoos and natural amphitheaters. Our recommendation is the Queen’s Garden Trail, a relatively easy hike that descends into the canyon and winds among some of the park’s most iconic formations. For a longer loop, combine it with the Navajo Trail for a more immersive journey through Bryce’s dramatic scenery.

Once we've basked in Bryce's beauty, we'll return to Salt Lake City for guest drop-offs.
