About Daniel Stih 

Stih has been hiking and climbing in Zion National Park for over 30 years. It’s a passion that propelled him to do the first ascents of 30 peaks in the park. 

Dan's philosophy is to have a personalized experience that connects your soul with nature. Keep your group size small and leave your ear buds or music players at home for the perfect social environment for an exceptional experience.  

Read about his story in Daniel Stih's Rock Climbing in Zion National Park. Learn about his approach on how to climb mountains that have never been climbed before in Why I Think This Way.
 

The Guide Makes the Difference 

Daniel (myself) does not guide in the park. If you're hiring a guide, I recommend Mike Dunn: (651) 895-4150.

Mike is the safest guide I know and a world-class climber and canyoneer. He works with a permitted guiding company in Zion National Park and can take you on a hike up Angels Landing, into the Narrows, or wherever else you may want to go that's allowed and permitted.
