In our Canyoneering Trip Reports you can view the images and read the comments of our guests and guides as they journey through Moab's backcountry. The beauty of the area - with its spectacular canyon vistas and challenges along with the emotions they evoke - is presented for you to enjoy in your home or office.

The trip reports listed below may have been from some of your work mates, friends or relatives. They're likely from people you have no clue of. Then again, they might be from you!

Regardless, we hope the thoughts and images below inspire you to venture out here (again?) and experience the desert's highlights with us.

Finally, a very special thanks goes out to all our returning guests! Their fondness for sharing these beautiful canyons with us time and again is the greatest compliment we could ever hope for. Their trips are noted in bold italics. Thank you!

"Each one of us had an amazing time. I wanted to say that the tours were above and beyond my wildest expectations. Many thanks to you and Aron. I have not stopped talking about the trip to my fiancé. It was by far the best Bachelor party ever. All of us plan to come back for more. Be prepared, friends of ours are on their way."

"I feel a need to write you following my journey into Tierdrop Canyon! I had anticipated my trip for several months and could not have been more impressed.

I would like to Thank You for sharing your patience and skill as you guided me through my first rappelling experience. I am still not quite grounded from the experience yet and am not sure I want to come down!"

"Thank you to Aron for guiding our most pleasant day in Lomatium Canyon. The attached pictures cannot begin to express the joy my grandchildren, Sean & Lucy and I experienced as we got in and out of places I never thought possible. Thanks to Aron for his patience and skill in providing us with this wonderful experience. His knowledge of the area and skills in guiding made us feel very comfortable and safe at all times. At 68 years old, I never thought I would be able to enjoy this experience with my 10 year old grandchildren, but our day in the Canyon was truly the highlight of our week's trip to Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. Thanks again and I am already looking forward to my next visit to the Moab region."

"I wanted to thank you once again for our wonderful canyoneering adventure. Stephanie, Scott, Steve, and I all unanimously agreed that on a scale of 1-10, it was totally off the charts - by far the highlight of our vacation!!

The hiking, climbing, and rappelling were a blast and your unflappable patience, boundless knowledge, entertaining stories, and obvious enthusiasm made our trip one that we will talk about for years to come. Hopefully we will be able to come back again someday!

Thanks again for a fantastic time!"
