What Makes This Area Special?

About two hours from Moab, this region holds one of the highest concentrations of technical slot canyons anywhere in the Southwest. The walls are tighter, the formations more polished, and the movement more engaging than anything you’ll find in Moab.

The drive out isn’t a drawback—it’s part of the experience. As the landscape opens up, you leave the crowds behind and step into terrain that feels wild, quiet, and untouched. By the time you drop into your first slot, it’s clear why people make the trip.

These canyons aren’t just hikes—they’re full-body adventures. You’ll be scrambling, stemming, bridging, and rappelling your way through narrow corridors that twist and turn through the desert. In terms of pure slot canyon quality, this area puts Moab to shame!!!

We tailor each trip to your group’s goals and ability level. Want big rappels? We’ve got them. Prefer tight, technical movement? No problem. Every route is chosen to match your experience and how hard you want to push it.

If you’re willing to go a little farther, you’ll get something far better in return.
