Our adventure with guide Jared was outstanding. He met us at a designated point off the highway and near the slot canyon site.
We were a group of two couples (all in our 60s) who had each rappelled one time before. Jared made sure we we safely equipped, understood how the gear worked, and what to expect. He was thorough but not overbearing in his presentation.
This adventure hike included 4 rappels that increased in length from 15’ to near 100’ (or it seemed like it). Your journey includes scrambles over rocks in the slot canyon. Our day included huge puddles of mud and quicksand in on the trek, with some thought out leaps of faith to avoid a mud bath. With the weather being drizzly, we got a bit of mud on us - it added to the adventure. Once done in the slot canyon, you hike out to what would be the edge of the high water level of Lake Powell. From that point Jarad had us scramble up a large, smooth and rounded 120+ foot rock face where we posed for a group photo. You then hike back across the desert along paths that lead you back to the starting point about 2.5 hours from the start.
If you want an excellent time, give this non-advaced, yet physically exerting adventure a go. You are safe being guided by Jared and will feel very enriched by your time spent with him.
