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.

Happy International Rock Day!
Most of us go through life without giving much thought about rocks. When we stop for a moment to reflect however, we find that rocks are an integral and omnipresent part of our lives. You wouldn't be reading this message right now without rocks. You wouldn't be able to drive down the road to the store in your car without rocks.
At Get In The Wild we are surrounded by rocks wherever we go. They create the spectacular redrock canyons of southern Utah and the awe-inspiring smoothly polished granite swiftwater canyons in the PNW. We use them to build anchors to rappel from. We scramble up and down over and around them as we climb, squeeze, slither and crawl through brilliantly sculpted slot canyons.
Here's a photo of one interesting rock we photographed in a beautifully sculpted slot canyon years ago. Do you recognize it? Please let us know in the comments below.

“A venturesome minority will always be eager to get off on their own. Let them take risks, for God’s sake, let them get lost, sunburnt, stranded, drowned, eaten by bears, buried alive under avalanches - that is the right and privilege of any free American.”
--Edward Abbey

Pothole Escape Course
Dates
September 9-10, 2023
Tuition for the course
$479 per person excluding tax.
Register Today at Link in Bio.
Description
Keeper Potholes—just the thought of these awe-inspiring and intimidating obstacles creates excitement and trepidation in the most seasoned of canyoneers. Learning the essential tools and techniques to escape these deep, dark and intimidating obstacles is a requisite for all who venture into wild and remote canyons. Completion of this course will provide you with the fundamental skills and experience you need to escape keepers safely, confidently and efficiently.
Prerequisites
You must have previous technical canyoneering experience and be a confident swimmer to participate in this course.
Location
This course will be taught at one of the best locations for keeper potholes in America--the wild, remote and awe-inspiring canyons of the San Rafael Swell. Did you know the San Rafael Swell was recently designated as America's newest wilderness area? Congress protected 660,000 acres of this amazing wilderness which was signed into law by President Trump on March 12, 2019. We are incredibly grateful to offer the first commercially guided Pothole Escape Course at this amazing, unique and spectacular location.
Note: This course will be taught from a central canyoneering basecamp at the San Rafael Swell that is accessible by vehicle.
