Adventure Tips
Bring plenty of water
Hydration is critical in the desert heat, especially during longer ATV or canyoneering tours.
Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes
Durable footwear protects feet from rough terrain, sharp rocks, and sand during trail and slot canyon hikes.
Protect yourself from the sun
Use sunscreen, wear a hat, and bring sunglasses—UV exposure is intense in southern Utah’s open desert environment.
Check vehicle and gear before tours
Ensure your ATV or canyoneering equipment is in good condition; guided tours provide safety briefings but personal preparedness matters.
