Repelling through the canyons - Noah was an awesome guide. He was super engaging with my 10 year old son and catered the trip for us. Due to my son’s comfort level with the tour, he allowed us to go ‘off trail’ and do some more intense repelling

Rappelling is awesome! - It was so cool rappelling down a slot canyon! Zage and Jack were so patient with all of us. We always felt safe and had a blast. Don't be nervous! Just try it!!

Fantastic - Ted was a fantastic guide explaining each step of the way and what to expect. It stretched my comfort zone immensely but he made it easy to get comfortable and over my fear of heights. I would definitely do rappelling again, although I will still maintain a good distance from unsecured cliff edges, lol.

2 Hour Dual Experience - We ended up doing the hike to the slot canyon and sand boarding and it was an extremely fun and thrilling adventure. Mikey was great. He took his time with everything and took us a bunch of different places along with what we paid for. 12/10 recommend and would do it time and time again when we come back into town

TOP RANKED RAPPEL - We had an amazing adventure with ROAM and Mikey. Legit sideXside ride through the desert right next to Zions Natl Park. Rappels were technical and challenging for our intermediate skill level. Scenery in the canyon was unbelievable. The descent down the rock cliff next to running waterfall is my favorite rappel in my canyoneering career :) Solid full day adventure. Plan to bring a pack with snacks and room for plenty of water. Great rappelling followed by aggressive hike out and impressive petroglyphs.

Highly Qualified and Conscientious - Went on a family trip with Backroads and they scheduled the canyoneering with ROAM. Backroads always carefully selects providers so we already knew we were in great hands but these guys totally exceeded our expectations . They were experienced, excellent communicators, and worked equally well with adults & kids. I felt 100% safe on this adventure.

Super fun family adventure! - Our family had an amazing experience doing the rock and repel tour today! Our guide, Wyatt, was fantastic. He helped us feel comfortable and courageous for our adventures. He also gave us some great bonus rides on the dunes at the end of our tour. We loved it!
