As your guide—part naturalist, part amateur photographer—I’ll lead you through hidden terrain few have ever explored. We’ll journey through a narrow slot canyon, using our hands to navigate steep, rugged passages. Short sections may involve ropes and light scrambling, adding to the sense of adventure. Along the way, we’ll encounter striking sandstone formations, wind-carved caves, and breathtaking overlooks. The terrain can be demanding at times, but the reward is immense—panoramic views and a connection to the land that lingers long after the journey ends. This experience promises lasting memories and unforgettable photographs.

This was an amazing experience! Granger and Krystal were so friendly, encouraging, and knowledgeable. We would not have known how to get to the slot canyons without them. Some parts were more challenging but manageable. The views were incredible. A must do if visiting the area!
Challenging, rewarding, and highly recommended

Absolutely breathtaking views, with a very experienced/knowledgeable/profound tour guide, Granger. He pushed me to a point where I was able to face some intimidating obstacles but knew I was never in danger. 100% recommend. *Just a tip is bring a backpack with water! It was a nice little workout but you need your hands too much to have to hold a bottle.

A few scraps and cuts and definitely a challenge and the hike was challenging but once I got up to the top, it was definitely worth the work. Thanks Granger!

The incredible slot canyon hike was indeed incredible! The guide, Granger, was so knowledgeable and encouraging. The hike is challenging. You need to be able to scramble up and over rocks, manage steep inclines, and use a rope to get yourself up and down a rock face that is about 25-30 feet high. If you don't have good hand strength, this part of the hike isn't for you. You can skip it and wait for the group to go up to a viewpoint and come back. I would highly recommend the experience if you like to challenge yourself physically and mentally (Granger will espouse his 1-2-3 philosophy, and it works) and see magnificent views.
A MUST if your in the San Diego area !

I gifted this tour to my boys and their girlfriends all in their early 20’s! They absolutely loved this hike ! It took about 2 hours and they said it was challenging enough to make it fun ! The pictures the guide took were amazing and the views from the top spectacular!! The guide was super engaging and my son said he was inspiring as well ! It was definitely a highlight for hard to please young adults :) !
Awesome view with best guide

Granger is the best knowledgeable hiker i ever met. He is too good, based on your skills he will decide which route will be feasible for you.
Do it. You'll be glad you did.

A fun experience at a very reasonable price. Tour size is limited, and my family (4 people) ended up having a dedicated tour guide. Informative and invigorating. You'll be doing an uphill/downhill hike through some beautiful scenery. My kids (18 & 21) had a blast. I recommend it highly.
