If we are unavailable, please leave a message and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.
Slot Canyon Tours:
Peakaboo and Spooky: $180 for first two, then $80 per person up to 6 total, takes about a half day
Our most popular slot canyon day hike. This loop hike visits three narrow canyons with several natural bridges. Participants will squeeze through 16 inch wide water carved sandstone slots including several challenging obstacles. Fun for the whole family, kids love it!
Zebra and Tunnel: $180 for first two, then $80 per person up to 6 total, takes about a half day
Though less popular, Zebra features some of the most striking colored bands in the region. The slot is short but spectacular and is a favorite of photographers. The hike is an easy stroll suitable for all ages. As an added bonus, we will visit Tunnel; the name says it all. This hike frequently requires wading/swimming - please call for current conditions.
Egypt 3: $180 for first two, then $80 per person up to 6 total, takes about a half day
The tightest slot on our menu, Egypt 3 is not for the rotund or claustrophobic! With sections that Aaron has trouble squeezing through, this is as narrow as it gets. So, if you are skinny and want to see an amazing canyon, give it a try.
Red Breaks: $220 for first two, then $90 per person up to 6 total, takes most of a day
One of our longer day hikes, Red Breaks is a not "too narrow" canyon featuring interesting banded sandstone, some short climbing obstacles and impressive views. If time permits, we'll see a seldom visited and unique geologic feature that looks like the picture to the right.
Other Cool Hikes:
Neon Canyon and the Golden Cathedral: $220 for first two, then $90 per person up to 6 total, takes most of a day - let's start early
The Golden Cathedral is a popular alcove that has earned its name. With two big holes through the alcove roof, a zen-garden-like atmosphere surrounded by towering red sandstone walls, there is just something special about this place. Come and see. We'll also examine a huge petroglyph panel. To read more about an overnight trip click here.
Escalante Natural Bridge, Arch and Pictographs: $180 for first two, then $80 per person up to 6 total, takes about a half day
From the Escalante River Bridge Trailhead, we'll head upriver via a side trail that visits the "100 Hands" panel. We'll descend to the river where we will be in and out of the water for the remainder of the hike. A large natural bridge and arch accompany the spectacular canyon scenery. If time and interest permit we'll also visit Sand Creek, a beautiful narrow canyon.
Phipps Wash: $180 for first two, then $80 per person up to 6 total, takes about a half day
From the Escalante River Bridge Trailhead, we'll head downriver to visit massive Phipps Arch and delicate Coyote Natural Bridge.
Upper Calf Creek Falls: $160 for first two, then $70 per person up to 6 total, takes a short half day - also suitable for an afternoon trip
A 100 foot waterfall with clear, cold water, an oasis in the desert! We'll descend steep slickrock to great swimming holes for those hot summer days and leisurely make our way back to the trailhead after cooling off in the brisk water.
