We did a full day canyoneering trip with Red Desert. Our guide, Joe, was experienced, extremely competent, and helped us have an awesome day. There is no doubt we will be back. More

My 30 year old friend and I did a full day canyoneering trip and were very satisfied with our adventure company choice. I was concerned that we would get paired with people who did not share the same level of fitness or eagerness for descending 170' raps. That was not at all the case. The trip was customized to meet... More

I really have nothing but great things to say about our canyoneering adventure with Eric. My boyfriend and I decided to do a half day of canyoneering based on the amazing reviews here and a LOT of research and I'm so glad we did. My bf is afraid of heights but agreed to go since I so badly wanted to,... More

We did the full day canyoneering tour on May 2. Eric picked us up at our motel and we drove to Water Canyon. We hiked for about an hour or so and then rappelled our way back down. We both thoroughly enjoyed the day. Eric is very knowledgable about both canyoneering and the area. Eric is very conscious of safety... More

We had never considered canyoneering before reading about Red Desert Adventure on TripAdvisor. We didn't know what to expect, but decided to give it a try. So glad we did! Our half-day trip with Eric was great. Parts of the experience were more nerve-wracking than other reviews led me to believe, but Eric was always patient, calm, and helpful. We... More

Eric and Brody were amazing. We had 5 kids in our group ranging from ages 6-12. They encouraged everyone and all the kids repelled with confidence. The kids loved them. Thanks to them, we had an exciting and adventurous day. More

My 12 year old son and I just spent a day canyoneering with Eric Draper, and we had an awesome time. Not only did we feel safe while experiencing some exciting rappels and down-climbs in scenic slot canyons; Eric was extremely knowledgeable about the Zion area and gave us wonderful advice about what else to see and do. We were... More

Just spend the afternoon on a family canyoneering trip with Eric Draper - definitely the right choice! Our two girls, aged 6 and 8, were smiling from ear to ear after their first rappels and wanted more, more, more ... Eric is an excellent guide for families, giving the kids a great sense of being safe when just about to... More

We chose the full day of canyoneering for our group (2 families w/ teenagers). Eric and Jeremy picked us up at our lodge and drove us to where we would be for the day. Both guides were knowledgeable not only about canyoneering, but also in local history, geology, trivia and even photography. We really enjoyed our time spent with them.... More

Red Desert Adventure went out of their way to provide a tremendous Canyoneering experience for our entire family. We spent a week in Zion National Park with another family and Red Desert was able to provide a very customized trip despite our large group. The guides were excellent and their attention to the overall safety of everybody was clearly at... More
