| DESERT HIKING |
Hiking is still the best and most intimate way to see the desert.
Deeply cut canyons, cool and lush with desert greenery contrast richly with the deep reds and purples of
polished, mineral-streaked rock.
Besides hiking (and walking) our Moab hiking trips just might involve: scrambling, climbing, sliding,
squeezing, crawling and just plain goofing off! Most of the terrain on these hikes allows opportunities for
kids and teens to run and safely do short explorations on their own.
Half-day trips up to 5 hours long are normal and are offered in the early morning or late
afternoon, allowing us to avoid the warmer hours of the day.

The pace is moderate since along the way we’ll encounter ancient
fossils from long ago dried up rivers and seas, tracks from extinct
dinosaurs, and bizarre petroglyphs documenting rituals & cultures long
gone, and much more.
Trying to understand the origin of Moab’s overwhelming geology is a
large part of our guided hikes, and our naturalist-guides are very adept
at using terms and visual tools to allow you to peer into the very, very
distant past!
