We had an outstanding experience with ECO. It's a first-class operation. We went on a Narrows trip in May as a birthday present to ourselves. We are experienced travelers and are both fit, so we knew that we could plan our own trip if we wanted. However, we are also busy people and knew that we would have a really... More

I have been on two trips with ECO--one in October, 2010 (Canyons of the Little Rockies) and a second in May, 2011 (Kayenta Passages). I am eager to go on more--especially Waterpocket Fold. They use horses to bring in gear so you only have to carry a daypack. They lead the hikes, prepare all the meals, and share their knowledge... More

I have been on two trips with ECO and I can highly recommend this group to anyone seeking solitude and a true backcountry experience with all the comforts and safety of a guided tour. The areas visited are remote and truly beautiful. The guides have utmost respect for safety and take special care with any guests who need extra help... More

It is a great way to see escalente, you are looked after well, tents are great, food VERY VERY good, and you need only carry a day pack. I cannot imagine attempting this yourself unless you know the area, and even then the guides can show you special trails few would know. Besides not many people can cook as well... More

I've taken two trips with these folks (2007and 2008), and each time I've been thoroughly pleased with their professionalism, organization and knowledge. I'll book a trip again with them in 2009. On both trips there were three very friendly and helpful staff for six participants. They made sure all of us received helpful attention appropriate to our respective skill and... More

Escalante Canyon Outfitters (ECO) provides access to breathtakingly beautiful remote back country sites that would normally be out of the reach of most people. Their horse-supported campsites allow you to have all the little extras that make camping more comfortable, and you don't have to carry a heavy pack. Meals were excellent and there was always plenty of food to... More

I bid on and won a trip with them without knowing much about it. They were so helpful and fun and organized. Very well run operation. We camped near a lovely swimming hole in the river for 4 days. So nice not to carry a lot of heavy gear as they pack everything in. The food was amazing!! The warmth... More

These folks know the region like it is their backyard. It's a hiking trip in a region like no other. Rocks, rivers, indian ruins, views, etc. If you are thinking you would like one of their trips, don't hesistate. More

Went on a trip with Escalante Canyon Outfitters in Spring 2006. They take your gear into the canyon via horses so all you have to carry is a daypack. Wonderful meals and beautiful campsite along the river in the base of the canyon. Grant, the co-owner and head guide, and the other guides were excellent. They were very professional and... More
