Canyoneering

Ephedra's Grotto/Morning Glory
The cliffs surrounding Moab soar hundreds of feet from river to rim. Let Red River Adventures lead you in an amazing discovery of the entire distance, rim to river. Our guides back up every rappel on a separate safety system so this trip is for anyone with a sense of adventure.

Length - 3 miles
# of Rappels - 2 (95' and 120')
Minimum age - 10

Your day begins at our office in Moab. Here you'll meet your professional Canyoneering guides, have a brief orientation and receive your harness and helmet. Next, it's off to the trailhead only a few minutes drive from our headquarters.
A short hike across petrified sand dunes will get us to the first of our two rappels (90'), a stunning drop in to a classic, water carved, sandstone chamber and the very heart of the Colorado plateau. From here we exit this amazing room through a small slot and take a short walk to our second spectacular free hanging rappel (120'). This rappel affords us an up close and personal look at the 243' long Morning Glory Arch, which is only feet away from our rappel station.
A downhill hike out to the Colorado River along a cool, spring fed stream gives us an opportunity to discuss wildlife, plants, geology, local history and more.

Adults $100/Youth $85

Red River Adventures is the only company in town that guides both trips in house!
Others may advertise both adventures only to Sub-contract out. Not us, the same great guides that guide you through your morning on the rim will raft with you on the river!

The trip begins as described above but instead of heading back to Moab at the end of the hike a waiting van and a short ride will bring you to the second half of a day your sure to remember for a long time. After a riverside lunch and ice cold lemonade you'll spend the afternoon running rapids, splashing and swimming your way through the beautiful Fisher Towers section of the Colorado River.

Adults $150/Youth $125
