Land before time

Our Land Before Time tour will take you from the civilization of Moab and into a land like you've never imagined. An approach hike leading upward through fractured domes takes you to one of the most amazing views in the Moab area. This canyon has scrambling and boulder-hopping and we recommend you have some hiking endurance for this 6 mile day. Three rappels of epic proportions lead you through a maze of carved out canyons to the final "wind under your feet" rappel.

Rappels: 3 {130', 70', 120'}

Supplied: Harness, Helmet, Belay Device, Gloves
Minimum Age: 8 Years.
Skill Level: Intermediate
