Prepare for the ultimate adventure getaway of non-stop excitement. Set in the heart of southeast Utah's dramatic Canyon Country, this multi-sport adventure will introduce you to rock climbing, whitewater rafting, canyoneering, mountain biking, and hiking. No prior experience necessary--just an appetite for new adventures! Our guides' relaxed and supportive approach to learning assures a fun and exhilarating week.
Camping Highlights: The crackling campfire, the desert silence, and the glow of the sunrise on canyon walls are all part of the allure of camping in the Utah outback. Our backcountry camps are set in stunning red rock locations in Canyonlands National Park and on the banks of the Colorado River.
Inn Highlights: Distinctive western lodges highlight our evenings in Canyon Country. The Grist Mill Inn, a restored 1930s flourmill now turned B&B, welcomes us with casual comfort. Southwestern luxury in the heart of Moab defines the Gonzo Inn with its spacious rooms and welcoming pool and spa.
Your Itinerary
Day 1: Moab
We begin our journey on mountain bikes into the heart of Canyon Country on the Monitor and Merrimac trail, looping around several buttes and monoliths, with views into Arches National Park and Seven-Mile Canyon. (D).
Day 2: Canyonlands
Deep into the outback of Canyonlands National Park, we follow a footpath past soaring monuments and spectacular amphitheaters full of colorful pinnacles. More adventurous? The Joint Trail follows a stretch of connecting deep, narrow crevices--some only two to three feet wide within a massive rock expanse. (B/L/D).
Day 3: Medieval Canyon
Experience a day of introductory canyoneering in Medieval Canyon under the care of exceptional instructors. This is one of the most spectacular settings for rappelling to be found anywhere in the world! (B/L/D).

Jump into inflatable kayaks or rafts on the Colorado River and hike to Fisher Towers, the setting for several western movies. (B/L/D).
Day 5: Moab
Strap on a climbing harness for an introduction to the sport of rock climbing. Learn the basics in the morning--equipment, terminology, and belaying--and then progress to several basic climbs. (B/L/D).

Explore slickrock grottoes and narrow slot canyons in the mysterious Fiery Furnace and then switch to mountain bikes for some fun slickrock riding on the way to Tower Arch. (B/L).
