My husband were able to spend a couple days with Chris gaining and practicing new skills that are necessary to safely navigate some of Utah’s canyons. Chris is knowledgable, methodical and sequential with his teaching. We are excited to come back next year to practice!! I love canyoneering!!

Discover The Wildest, Most Elusive Spots In Utah & Washington
World-Class Canyoneering Destinations
Explore two premier canyoneering destinations in the United States with our trips and courses: Southern Utah and Seattle, WA.
Southern Utah
One of America’s wildest places is conveniently located between Arches National Park in Moab, Utah and Capitol Reef National Park in Torrey, Utah. Called the Dirty Devil/Robber’s Roost Wilderness Area, it is infamous as a hideout for famed outlaws such as Butch Cassidy. With over one hundred canyoneering routes to choose from, it’s a canyoneering paradise and we can’t wait to share it with you!
Western Washington
In Washington, we invite you to explore beyond the urban footprint of Seattle and into the nearby verdant mountains. The lush, fern-filled forests surrounding the Emerald City are the perfect place to try rappelling down a waterfall, also known as waterfall canyoning or swiftwater canyoneering.
Take a closer look at the places we guide by visiting the pages below.
Let Us Share Our Years Of Expertise With You
There is probably only one thing that we love more than sharing our love of the outdoors with our guest — imparting our carefully cultivated knowledge of how to navigate the ins and outs of the incredible landscapes that our unique planet has shared with us. Whether you’re looking to navigate the backcountry(opens in a new tab), learn all the technicalities about canyoneering(opens in a new tab), or even climb a glacier(opens in a new tab), there is no challenge too great for our team. We’ll be with you every step of the way, too — you’ll learn all of the best and safest techniques with our experienced team, no matter what the course material.
Something Else We Can Help You With?
As premiere outdoor outfitters, we like to provide our guests with as many useful services as possible. Maybe you’re looking to organize something special outside for a family trip or a corporate retreat — we’re happy to say that we have you covered with our group events(opens in a new tab) or even our team building and leadership events(opens in a new tab)! If you need help getting from point A to point B, then take a look at our shuttle service(opens in a new tab) to put your mind at ease.
See What Previous Adventurers Say
My son and I booked a day long Canyoneering adventure into Robber’s Roost. Met our guide Logan in Hanksville and drove out to the canyon. After a short, strenuous hike we started our descent. Logan was a great canyoneering instructor, providing clear, concise instructions. In no time we were rappelling down through a series of canyons. At no time did I feel unsafe. This trip exceeded my expectations and I look forward to doing it again.
This was an excellent guided trip. My husband rappelled at 50 for the first time with our 10 & 12 years olds. We felt very safe during the rappel. Appreciated the test run and the additional tips of securing chest for larger people while going down. Chris was great at talking us through the tough spots during the hike and during the rappel. He also helped all of us and made sure that we were all together working together. HE brought along a nice packet of trailmix for each person. I do think if possible it would have been great if he had shared more information about the surroundings. Maybe how they were formed, what made them unique, how they are retained etc. He did answer all the kids questions, but many times on these guides tours we love when the guide just talks and shares knowledge – Our kids seem to really enjoy this and learn so much more. In any case all of us loved the trip and we would definitely go with him again. Thanks Chris
We literally had a private half day tour. Chris fed us information so that we felt more comfortable with the height challenge facing us. The repelling and hike through the park were amazing. We would love to return one day to do a day long excursion with Chris.

As our season winds down and the year draws to a close, we find ourselves in a moment of gratitude and reflection. This time of year offers a natural shift from the intensity of guiding, teaching, and running a small business to a pause where we can truly appreciate the unforgettable experiences of 2024. We are deeply grateful to each of you who chose to adventure with us, share in the beauty of this wild and amazing landscape, and support our small, family-owned business. Thank you. 🙏
For many, a visit to this otherworldly place may happen only once, and it is our honor to guide those first steps into such a unique, awe-inspiring world. Others return year after year, as the spirit of the landscape calls them back, and it’s our privilege to reconnect with you here in our spectacular Southern Utah “backyard.”
This past season brought countless inspiring moments: we were in awe of a courageous young women who was mobility impaired that showed us the true power of determination by conquering the challenges of a technical canyon. We shared tender moments with guests savoring one last adventure before facing life’s challenges, and we felt the pure joy of families learning canyoneering together, building skills for a lifetime of shared adventures.
Each of these moments, along with so many others, weaves together to create a rich story of adventure, courage, connection, and transformation.
Thank you for being a part of this story. ❤️
With gratitude,
Christopher, Melissa and Dinky Hagedorn
