Details

Just south of the Arizona-Utah border, Willow Beach offers striking access to iconic Southwest landscapes defined by deep canyons, expansive desert, and the shimmering waters of Lake Powell. Outdoorster LV operates here, providing immersive outdoor experiences that traverse some of the region’s most dramatic natural features. Their lineup includes guided tours through the twisting slot walls of Lower Antelope Canyon, paddle excursions on Lake Powell’s crystal-clear bays, and full-day adventures into Death Valley National Park paired with a visit to the eerie Rhyolite Ghost Town.

Lower Antelope Canyon presents one of the world’s most photographed slot canyons, carved by millions of years of flash floods through Navajo sandstone. The canyon's narrow corridors and flowing rock walls create a natural light show in midday when sunlight beams penetrate the cave-like crevices. Outdoorster LV’s guided shuttle tours make these formations accessible while providing expert insight into the geology and cultural significance of the region.

Lake Powell kayaking trips bring a waterborne perspective to this vast reservoir sculpted by the Glen Canyon Dam. Paddlers navigate quiet coves and towering sandstone cliffs, often spotting native wildlife and absorbing panoramic views typically reserved for boaters.

The full-day Death Valley National Park tours offer a sharp contrast—visitors encounter vast salt flats, sand dunes, and colorful badlands, along with a stop at Rhyolite, a turn-of-the-century ghost town frozen in desert decay. These trips highlight the stark beauty and haunting history of one of the hottest places on earth.

Outdoorster LV distinguishes itself by blending diverse terrain and activities in a compact geographic area around Willow Beach. Whether you’re seeking canyon labyrinths, serene paddling, or desert extremes, this outfitter connects adventurers directly to Arizona’s rugged outdoor heart.
