The Experience

Before You Go

Arrive Early

Check in 30 minutes before your departure to secure your spot and review safety instructions.

Bring Water & Sun Protection

There are no restrooms onsite and limited shade—carry at least one liter per person and wear sunscreen and a hat.

Secure Loose Items

4x4 terrain is bumpy—tightly secure cameras, phones, and hats to avoid losing gear.

Choose Sunset for Light

Sunset tours deliver the best color on canyon walls, cooler temps, and dramatic photo opportunities.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

Conservation Note

Stay on vehicle and designated trails, pack out all waste, and avoid disturbing vegetation to protect fragile soils and cultural sites.
