I provide a free route map, but you can also download a hike/drive GPX to assist you and to help support my site. Before sharing my GPX tracks with others, please remember my site is a free resource and I'm charging nominal fees to offset my substantial costs.

May 04, 2018 — This route may be short, but it's definitely no joke. The Ant Hill is a large mound of slickrock just off Route 9 on the east side of Zion. From the parking spot on the side of the road, scramble Class 2 slabs until you gain the southern hump of The Ant Hill. Continue along the southern ridge and ascend Class 4 slabs with terrifying exposure until you get to sandy, but safer, ground. From here, locate a 20-30 foot high Class 4, low Class 5 near-vertical wall that leads to the summit of The Ant Hill. There are great holds, but it's definitely not a good fall were you to do so.
Please consider helping me out if you find my site useful. I'm not sponsored, so all site fees are out-of-pocket and my time preparing these trip reports is unpaid. You can also hire me as a web developer. I really appreciate it!
If you find my site helpful, please help me replace my many broken cameras, fund my website fees (hosting, APIs, security), or just support my countless hours of work. I pay for all expenses myself, and all trip reports I post are unpaid and unsponsored, so any support is really appreciated!
If using PayPal, please select their option for "Sending to a friend" so they don't take out fees, thank you.
My site is free to use, but consider sending me a few bucks to help keep it running. Thanks in advance!
