The park promotes responsible enjoyment of the landscape and situates activities within the natural sandstone formations around LeChee. Antelope Ridge Adventure Park presents the Via Ferrata Tour as a distinct offering that highlights the combination of rappelling, vertical movement, and canyon access rather than typical walking tours.
