Keith was an outstanding 6 ⭐️ guide for our Via Ferrata experience. You can tell he loves what he does and shares his love for the beautiful location. He is very encouraging when we needed to slow down in spots. We felt very confident because he took the time to walk us through the best twchniques and best way to approach different types of stairs. Keith also accommodated us when we decided to add in a tour of the Peekaboo slot canyon. Overall it was a truly memorable experience. Definitely a highlight of our trio. Thank you Keith and Roam.

Wyatt and Rappelling Was Fantastic

Wyatt was outstanding and the rappelling was fantastic. We were tested outside of our comfort zone but Wyatt coached us through every step. We learned new skills and had left feeling extremely accomplished.

Amazing

Andy was amazing with us beginners, we felt safe and comfortable. It was so much fun, highly recommend!

Lots of fun - just scary enough

Dawn_B, Apr 2024
I think this was a relatively mild via ferrata, which was good for me since it was my first one. I think if you are an adrenaline junky with many via ferratas under your harness - this might not be the one for you. But, overall, we really enjoyed it.

Why wait? Two in one experience

Amazing Experience

Abby_R, Sep 2023
Unfortunately due to the risk of flash flooding, we were unable to do to Via Ferrata. However, the staff at ROAM were so incredibly accommodating. They took us on a UTV tour to nearby slot canyons instead, which was amazing! Our guide, Ted, was super knowledgeable of the area and made sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time.

Fun and light thrills

I was with the guide Mickey, he was very nice and he speaks very clearly for foreign people (I'm French). We made the via ferrata and a rappel at the end. The route is quite easy except 1 or 2 parts a little bit more complicated but the activity is appropriate for very beginners.

Great guide, fun experience!

Michelle_D, Jul 2023
Tim was a great guide, super friendly and helpful! The views are really nice! This is a bit of an easier experience of you are someone who hikes and climbs a lot. I think we were through it in about an hour but it was still really worth it! And Tim made it a great experience! I would say that kids could do this easily and could any beginner to via ferrata and rappelling. Very fun!!

Spectacular experience!

Jacqueline_V, Apr 2023
Booking this experience is a NO BRAINER! Doing the via ferrata was SO out of my comfort zone, but our guide Keith and Kalib made me feel so calm and prepared. My fiancé and I had a blast and hands down it was one of the funnest things we’ve ever done. The moment we came down we wanted to book it again! Highly recommend!

Wow! What an experience

Matthew_W, Nov 2022
It was terrifying for this old man, but our guide was so helpful and encouraging that I actually survived.

An experience to remember

Fun! Fun! Fun! All the way through. We felt safe and cared for by Wyatt. Excellent guide! Thank you for an unforgettable experience 🙏🏼

Awesome Experience!

ASHLEY_R, Sep 2022
I was scared to death to try this adventure, but I’m so glad I did! It was such a rewarding experience. Our guide was awesome. Very knowledgeable. Very chill, too, which helps a lot. He took tons of pictures and video for us so that we could focus on climbing. This activity is intimidating, but SO WORTH IT.

Amazing via ferrata

Molly_M, May 2022
We loved our Via Ferrata climb and rappel tour in Cave Lakes Canyon. It is such a beautiful canyon! Our tour guide was amazing! He provided wonderful guidance along our ascent and took pictures to cherish. He was funny, kind and attentive as we climbed up the iron ladder. Rappelling was fun at the end. We definitely would highly recommend this unique experience!!
