Hiking

If you open a map of Utah, you'll notice that there is a lot of land and not many roads. That land boasts some of Utah's most spectacular, diverse and, of course, remote wilderness. And where there are no roads, there are rivers, streams, canyons, mountain peaks, mesas, buttes, spires, arches and much more&oh and trails. Hiking Utah's extensive trail system and extraordinary backcountry is one of the easiest and most rewarding ways to explore the state. Our outfitters and guides know all the trails, both on and off the map. You can choose any level of hiking you feel comfortable with, whether you want an easy stroll through mountain meadows or a meandering desert canyon or a strenuous climb to a rugged peak or stunning redrock vista. Hikes vary in length from several hours out, to a half day or full day jaunt. See our backpacking outfitters for trips for more than one day.
