Great guided tour to an incredible slot canyon! - My wife and I had a great time on the hike to and into Zebra slot canyon with Roam Outdoors. This was the second of two slot canyon tours with Roam near Escalante. We enjoyed both the Trio of Canyons and then Zebra. Zebra was a longer hike out in the desert, which we enjoyed. It was a short slot canyon, and very challenging, yet extremely beautiful and interesting. We booked with Roam Outdoors and we're glad we did. 1) Jack French, our guide, was great. He is an affable young man, of Navaho descent, and made us really comfortable. He shared great insights about the region and was very enthusiastic. When we got to Zebra, we found that the sand "floor" was much lower than usual due to recent rain storms, which made the canyon much narrower and hard to get through. Back in the"cool" part of the canyon, the only way to proceed was to scale up and shimmy along bracing feet on the opposite side of the canyon. Jack climbed up easily, and patiently waited and encouraged me as I struggled and finally succeeded n working my way up 8-10 feet and scootching along. I'm 63 and not as nimble as I used to be! 2) It was great to have a knowledgeable guide, with tips about how to do everything and who took great pictures of us. 3) With Roam, we felt safe and secure. the route to Zebra is now well marked and Jack knew every bend and key to working through the canyon. 4) Roam is a top-notch operation. Very well organized, good equipment, great to work with. If you like a desert hike, are OK with wading through some wet spots, and want to see a super beautiful slot canyon, then this tour is highly recommended!

Unique and beautiful adventure! - We took this tour with our three adult children. I spent a lot of time researching which would be the best slot canyon for our (my) fitness and ability level! My husband and I are both 50 and average size and fitness. Our tour guide was Coleman and he did a great job leading and keeping us entertained along the way. It is about a 5 mile hike ( round trip), not too difficult, but bring a lot of water if it will be hot. The canyon was full of water, which I knew was a possibility, but not a certainty. So we left our bags and shoes outside. There were a few tight squeezes, where I do not feel I could have been much bigger! I did struggle in one area to shimmy over some rocks and needed help and coaching. I think I perhaps did it the hard way. And I think it would have been much easier if I had some kind of shoe to help me grip the rock and get up higher. But my boys had no trouble whatsoever. Once you get over that part you are treated with the beauty of Zebra slot canyon. I am incredibly glad we used a guide to tour the canyon for the expertise. Coleman also took the time to get some pictures of all of us, which I appreciated greatly!

Amazing! - Tyler was our guide for this hike and he was very knowledgeable and personable. The hike to the canyon was easy. Prepare to get wet… water levels vary, for us it was about waist deep. Scenery was spectacular! The trip through zebra has its challenging moments but with a good guide, we had no issues.

We had a great time! - Tyler was a very knowledgable guide. The Zebra slot canyon was wet so he offered us another slot canyon adventure. It was perfect and so amazing. We loved every minute of it. Would recommend this trip.

Incredible Zebra Slot Canyon tour with Regan - My wife and I just concluded a spectacular Zebra Slot tour. We had seen online photos, but the experience exceeded expectations. Regan was great; we couldn't be more pleased. He was punctual, personable and very knowledgeable as to the history, geology and plant life of the area. He helped us with technique (and a boost) through the tightest stretch of the canyon (We are 68 and 69 olds who exercise daily). We chatted about a variety of topics all morning. A fine young man and a great tour guide. The hike in was easy and the canyon truly spectacular. 5*+. Highly recommend.
