Check out a little more about the services offered by this Utah outfitter:
Mountain Bike Trips
Utah’s undeveloped dirt roads and trail systems take you from canyon rim to creek bottom, winding through a landscape that defines “GRAND SCALE”. Biking in the Canyonlands Region is the perfect vacation for the “life is short, play hard” human, who is not interested in merely spectating.
Horsback and Pack Trips
For the early settlers, travel into the labyrinth of the Canyonlands Region was often on horse back. Today we enjoy the same benefit of this timeless form of exploration on these versatile animals. To enhance your experience we take you out in small groups to some of our favorite places on trail systems that have existed for centuries.
Our experienced guides offer their insight and expertise on geology, archeology and local history. We offer a variety of trips from hourly to overnight pack trips. We accept riders from age 6 to 106 provided they are physically able to ride. We may let the little buckaroo ride a horse on a lead rope (led by the guide) if they are unable to control their own horse.
Fly Fishing
The fishing in Capitol Reef is something of an anomaly. To the casual observer, familiar with other high-desert locations, there would seem to be little in the way of fishing here. Fortunately, we are quite lucky to have several mountains in the region over 10,000 feet in elevation. Cool clear creeks and lakes, borne of the late mountain snow provide ample run-off year round to sustain a number of fisheries.
These incredible high mountain lakes coupled with off the beaten path small stream fishing makes southern Utah a fly-fishing destination that you must experience. Capitol Reef Backcountry Outfitters has been fishing
Off-Road Adventures
The Canyonlands Region of the Colorado Plateau hosts a network of four-wheel drive trails. A majority of this network was created during the 40’s and 50’s. It was during this time that prospectors, hoping to strike it rich by locating uranium in the triassic layer, built roads to access potential uranium mines in canyonlands.
Terrain previously accessible only by foot or horse back could now be reached by those intrepid enough to travel these trails. Today we have the advantage of independent suspension and air conditioning making the journey safer and more enjoyable.
These jeep tours are perfect for those interested in photography,geology, archeology and history. Also ideal for families or those who want to see the land in comfort. We provide lunch, and expert guide and all of the supplies for a worry free adventure.
