Amazing views, incredible experience, loads of fun.

This was such a cool experience. The ride out to the canyon was a thrill, and then suddenly, we were just rappelling down a wall! Brady, our guide was charming and positive, and had great stories and information. The scenery just can't be beat. Definitely do this tour, it's really worth it!

A big thank you to Eric and Kelcey our amazing guides

I had never done rappelling before, but even though the description of the activity said "advanced". I went ahead and signed up with my wife who does have some very basic rappelling experience. A big thank you to both guides Eric and Kelcey, who were both outstanding in teaching us the basics and very reassuring, in guiding me through my first rappell. By the 3rd one, I felt very comfortable with rappelling and could then take in the amazing views of the slot canyon. They had us tied into a secondary safety rope line during each rappell so I felt safe at all times. Both Eric and Kelcey were extremely knowledagable about canyoneering and rappelling, and we learned alot about the geology of the area as well. They both were were very fun which made the whole day a very pleasant experience. I am an assistant scoutmaster and will surely bring my troop back to experience this too. I was very proud of myself for going outside my comfort zone to become comfortable with rappelling , and I would like all my scouts to have that same sense of accomplishment. So glad that we did this. It was rewarding for a scardey cat like me but yet very thrilling for my adventure seeking wife.

Amazing views, professional guide

We, couple in our early 50’s, did this tour with Kelsey as our guide. We had a group of 4 with 3 newbies in it. It was an amazing trip. After a short ATV ride to our starting point, we hide to hike up 3 hills to our first repel. Kelsey took his time to explain how everything worked, show us how safe we actually were, and how to control the speed going down. Now, my wife gets nervous when I am too close to a ledge, so needless to say she was very nervous about repelling down into the slot canyons. But Kelsey’s calm and professional demeanor convinced her she would be ok. After the first , and longest one down, the other 3 were way easier on the nerves. The view in the slot canyons is sooo worth it. We did this celebrating our wedding anniversary and it was a memorable adventure for us. Thank you Kelsey for sharing your passion with us.

Absolutely Spectacular Experience!! Ask for Kelsey!

This experience is unforgettable! My husband and I both absolutely loved everything about it! Kelsey was our guide and he really made it a perfect day! If we ever come back we will be requesting him for our guide and we highly recommend him for his expertise, knowledge and fun personality. From the UTV to rappelling down into the slot canyons, he made it a really special time and took amzing pucs for us! We were a bit nervous getting started w the rappel but his calm, clear instruction put us at ease and it was amazing. The scenery is spectacular and we can’t say enough about it. Kelsey also went outta his way to get my phone back to me after I left it in the utv. Take this trip, it does not disappoint!!
