Bike, Hike, Raft, Rock Climb and Experience Canyoneering

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.

Day 1 Moab. We begin our journey on mountain bikes into the heart of Canyon Country on the incomparable Monitor and Merrimac trail, looping around several buttes and monoliths, with views into Arches National Park and Seven-Mile Canyon.

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.

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!

Day 4 Gemini Bridges. Bike amid awe-inspiring vistas and enjoy breathtaking descents on the beautiful Gemini Bridges trail along the edge of Bull Canyon.

Day 5 Moab. Strap on a climbing harness for an introduction to the sport of rock climbing-no prior experience necessary. Learn the basics in the morning--the equipment and terminology, knot tying and belaying--and progress to some basic rock climbs before and after lunch.

Day6 Colorado River-Arches or Fisher Towers. Jump into inflatable kayaks on the Colorado River and hike into the labyrinth of the Fiery Furnace of Arches National Park or to Fisher Towers, the setting for several western movies.
