What you'll do
Arrive at Desert Highlights at the chosen time. Your guide will outfit you with all of the necessary gear and drive your group to the start of the canyon. We'll hike, climb, scramble, shimmy, and rappel through a beautiful red rock, water carved canyon. **The finale of the technical section sometimes includes a swim through chilly water – refreshing during the summer months, though this quality prohibits us from comfortably visiting this canyon in all but the hottest months of the year.** This tour is suitable for beginner and experienced canyoneers alike. Desert Highlights has experienced and knowledgeable guides that will literally "show you the ropes", ensuring your safety and teaching you everything you need to know to descend the canyon safely. This canyon includes a 15-foot rappel and an optional 90-foot rappel. We are extremely passionate about our backyard and you'll gain knowledge and respect for our desert environment while out on your Moab canyoneering adventure! This tour typically lasts anywhere from 4 to 6 hours. *Please be prepared to wade or swim through water in this canyon. We require closed toe shoes to be worn for this whole trip*

Traveller reviews
We had a fantastic time! Jacob was so friendly, and professional. We were novices and he really put us at ease.
You ever visit old friends who live out state and they take you to all the cool local spots around town? That’s how it felt with this outfitter! Super friendly and knowledge staff who were all clearly seasoned outdoor professionals. Our whole crew had a blast which included 3 kids under 10 and 4 adults. We booked two different tours with them one repelling and one climbing. Each was unique and exciting in different ways. We loved them so much and can’t wait to book with them again! They get all the stars!
Great trip With great knowledgeable guide and nobody else around.
We had an awesome canyoneering experience, and a huge part of that was our guide, Skylar. From the very beginning, he made our family feel comfortable, capable, and most importantly, safe. He struck the perfect balance of being supportive and encouraging while still giving us just the right amount of challenge. Skylar was incredibly patient, especially important since we were doing this as a family, and he took the time to make sure everyone felt confident at every step. His calm, knowledgeable approach made what could have been intimidating feel exciting and fun. We’re so grateful to Skylar and Desert Highlights for making it so special. Highly recommend!
Excellent trip, our guide has a PhD in geology and gave us background on fhe rock formations l. He was very patient and knowledgeable about climbing
Our experience with Desert Highlights was nothing but positive. The tour was just as described, or better, with great explanations of the geography and local history. I was rather nervous about repelling, but our guide,Jacob, talked us through every step and I felt very safe and supported. It was a thrilling experience and I am so glad I took the plunge (at 70 yo!). I can't say enough about this company - you won't be disappointed!
We had a great time with Preston as our guide. It was the first time canyoneering for all of us & Preston made everyone feel comfortable & safe. Our kids, age 9 & 12, absolutely loved it and said they’d do it again for sure. The hike out after the second rappel was beautiful as well. Great place to visit, wonderful guide, highly recommended!
We have now done 3 separate adventures with Desert Highlights. Most recently, they took my family including my 78 year old mother and 9 year old daughter through medieval chamber. Kai was very helpful over the phone understanding the skill level of my family. She helped to calm my nerves and helped us pick the right trip for our group. Jake was our guide through the canyon. He was professional, skilled and patient throughout the day. He was able to access fitness abilities/limitations and make accommodations for all involved. This allowed all of us to feel accomplished and challenged. I highly recommend this company for your adventure.
