What people are saying about Moab

My family had an awesome and memorable time with our guide Mike in Bow and Arrow Canyon near Moab. At the beginning of the day, my children had some worried looks and nervousness on what was to come. Four repels later, my children got over their fears and were all smiles thanks to the one of best guides I have had the chance to meet. Mike was professional, humorous, knowledgable of the area, and helped the whole family out learning how to repel. Mike orientated everyone to the gear, we put on harnesses, grabbed our helmets and gloves and we were off. The hike was great at our pace. Mike took time to point out all the sights and goings on (including watching the ATV negotiate one of the toughest spots on the Poison Spiker Mesa trail). Mike took our new Christmas picture next to Longbow Arch. He then began learning the ropes literally! I never felt unsafe at anytime. We began with an orientation to the correct gear usage and form. We then progressed to repel with a smaller ledge

This was an absolutely amazing experience. Not for the faint of heart, but incredible. Aaron was our guide and was fantastic. Would highly recommend. 10 out of 10!

Great guide, great fun! Aaron was super knowledgeable and took us on the most fun tour. Would definitely do again!

Our guide, John was really informative. He took us in the back way and that was fun also. Loved the off roading.

Love these guides! They really enhance the Park experience
