Arrival & Ranch Scavenger Hunt
Welcome to Zion Mountain Ranch! After arriving and meeting one another, we’ll kick off the week with a fun and interactive scavenger hunt designed to help everyone explore the ranch, get comfortable with their surroundings, and start making new friends.
Our adventure begins at the reception area, then winds through the greenhouse and Cordwood Restaurant before heading out to the horse-riding area and the chicken coop. Along the way, teams will follow clues, complete challenges, and discover some of the special places they’ll enjoy throughout the week.
The final clue leads everyone back to their cozy cabins—their home for the week—where they’ll have time to unpack, settle in, and relax.
After our ranch adventure, we’ll gather together for a delicious welcome dinner at Cordwood Restaurant, sharing stories from the scavenger hunt and celebrating the beginning of an unforgettable week at Zion Mountain Ranch.
