Zion Peek-a-Boo 4x4 Tour

Today was an excellent day for a 4x4 drive out to Peek a Boo Canyon. Starting off in Hurricane, we rode up through Colorado City and Cane Beds past Coral Pink Sand Dunes. We all had a great time, and the trip was over all too soon! Here are our pics...

Rappel and Hike with Spencer and Felicia

Tuesday was a very fine day and we were lucky to take Spencer and Felicia out rappelling and on a short hike! Though Spencer had been rappelling before, Felicia had not. Turns out, she's a natural pro! Enjoy some pictures...

Rock Climbing at the Green Valley Gap

Today was an excellent day in St. George, Utah! The sky was mostly sunny, the high was in the 50's and low 60's, and there was only a slight breeze. Here are some great climbing pics we were able to snap!

Peek-a-Boo Canyon 4x4 Tour

On Wednesday, we took a group of Kanab's Red Hills Best Western out on the Peek a Boo 4x4 Tour. Although it was only about 26 degrees, everyone had a great time! Thank you so much Tracy, Steven, Marcene, and Brittany.

Peek-a-Boo Canyon

Red Canyon, aka Peek-a-boo Canyon, is a locals secret in the Kanab area. For us, its entails a beautiful 1 hour drive out, 1-2 hour visit hiking the slot in awe, and then another hour drive back to civilization. Today, we went out to see what the snow condition was, how much changed in the December floods, and as a good reason to get out of the office. Here are some pictures of the hike from today.

Enjoying the Weather!!!

After a few weeks of rain and snow and high temperatures in the 30's, we got out and did a hike on the Red Cliffs Desert Preserve near St. George, Utah. Temperatures up in the 50's, sunny and perfect for seeing really how big the 2010 winter floods were. Enjoy some pictures...

Crawford Arch Hike

Crawford Arch is a very narrow free standing arch located on the northwest face of Bridge Mountain high above the Zion Canyon floor. The route, if you can call it one, is very rugged and requires special techniques in climbing and orienteering. Although this is not a hike that we guide, we thought you might enjoy some pictures of a recent trip to the arch!

The arch is approximately 120 ft long and 3 feet wide at its most narrow. 99% of park visitors drive right by this arch, never knowing its there.
