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.

5.00It was full of fun, adventure, beautiful views, and good information and inspiring thoughts from Granger. He takes lots of pictures of you too, so you don't have to worry about that. It was an excellent experience! But just be sure to wear shoes with treads. There are some slippery spots.
Wonderful, inspiring

5.00Matthew was great! The hike was amazing and Matthew’s knowledge of the history of the area made it even better. Furthermore, his perspective on how we can all do little things to make the world a better place was truly inspiring. I could not recommend this experience enough! It was our favorite activity of our trip.
5/5 Stars, Highly Recommend!

5.00This was a wonderful hiking experience, on a trail where having an experienced local guide is important. Granger/Matt was patient and positive with our kids (aged between 9-11) as was the rest of the group, as they took their time to navigate the steep downhills at first and needed some coaching on crossing on boards and using ropes to climbs down, but they got the hang of it! Lots of different fitness and experience levels within our family, and we all managed to do this, but certainly would not have attempted on our own. We would have loved to do another hike (this one was that good), but circumstances didn't allow. Highly recommend for those seeking an outdoor adventure.

5.00It was a challenging hike up through the canyon. We worked hard but had a great time. Our guide was very helpful and showed us how to navigate our way.
