This is a fully private canyoneering experience led by owner and local guide Dan Lundgren, who has been guiding in the Moab area since 2018. Unlike larger group tours, each trip is tailored to your group’s pace and comfort level while still delivering a hands-on adventure through one of Moab’s classic slot canyons. Entrajo Canyon combines narrow sandstone corridors, fun scrambling, wading sections, and scenic rappels into an immersive desert experience that’s approachable for beginners while still exciting for experienced adventurers. A reasonable level of fitness is recommended, as the route involves moderate hiking, scrambling, and wading through water.

Unlike the crowded parks around Moab, this private canyoneering adventure takes you into Utah’s true slot canyon country—quiet, remote, and rarely seen.

Each trip is tailored to your group for the best mix of safety, scenery, and adventure.

Leave the crowded parks behind and head into southeastern Utah’s true slot canyon country—home to longer, more immersive canyoneering routes that don’t exist around Moab. This full-day adventure takes place in remote desert terrain where silence, towering sandstone walls, and deep, sculpted canyons define the experience. You’ll descend into narrow slot canyons using ropes and rappels, navigate extended canyon corridors, and learn essential canyoneering techniques along the way. These are legitimate canyon descents—longer routes with real commitment, varied terrain, and meaningful time spent underground—guided by experienced locals who manage all technical systems with a strong focus on safety and quality. This is not a sightseeing hike or a short novelty rappel. It’s an immersive canyoneering expedition through some of southeastern Utah’s most classic and seldom-visited slot canyons, offering depth, solitude, and a level of adventure that simply can’t be found in the Moab area.

Ancient Art offers an exhilarating introduction to desert climbing, set against the stunning backdrop of the Fisher Towers. This guided experience, ideal for climbers seeking their first desert tower, features a mix of mild 5.8 pitches and some 5.10 face climbing that can be avoided if you don't climb 5.10. As you ascend, you'll navigate handcracks and chimneys before encountering the thrilling 25-foot narrow ledge known as the 'plank.' The adventure culminates atop a tiny spire with panoramic views that will leave you feeling on top of the world. Perfect for new climbers wanting to start their multi-pitch climbing adventures. You won't be disappointed with this tower!

This water-filled slot canyon offers a completely different experience from the dry, crowded routes closer to Moab—making the 1.25-hour drive well worth it for those looking for something truly special. Located between Moab and Hanksville, this canyon features a rare combination of narrow sculpted slot sections and playful pools, creating a fun, immersive journey that feels more like exploration than a hike. Because of its remote location and limited access, this canyon sees far fewer visitors than more popular destinations, rewarding those who make the drive with solitude, unique terrain, and a true off-the-beaten-path adventure. If you’re deciding how to spend a hot day outdoors, this canyon is an excellent option. While the approach can be warm, the shaded canyon and frequent swims make the experience especially rewarding once inside.

The Narrows Hike is one of three bucket list hikes in Zion, and the only one that doesn't require a permit unless you plan to camp miles upriver. The slot canyon is deep and very dramatic with spectacular and sometimes surprising views the entire way. The dry trail in and out is flat, and paved but astonishingly beautiful. In addition, wading in the water provides a low impact core workout. At one point along the way there is a giant boulder in the river that is perfect for posed picture taking, there are warm-water springs all along the way, tiny birds that walk underwater, hundreds of trees damaged by rockfall, the world's tiniest snail, and water seeping out of solid rock. This is truly a marvelous hike with spectacular scenery and many educational opportunities.
