All Ladies Canyoneering Tour 5/28/15

We were so lucky to spend a day with this awesome crew.  Two of these fabulous ladies have been coming canyoneering with us for years.  Thank you Laura & Leslie for bringing your friends out to play in the canyons with us.  Can't wait for the next adventure!  And our congrats to you both!                           P.S. Private Joke...  "It's not how you feel, it's how you look.  And you all look AWESOME"!

Love these ladies!  All girls canyoneering trip.  Well, except for Rick and Ian.  Gotta have guides!  Miss you all already!

Hello Canyoneers & Future Canyoneers!  It has been a super busy Spring here in Escalante.  Our tours have been packed, the accommodations in town busting at the seams and waits to get into the restaurants!  If you haven't visited Escalante, come for a visit and join the action.  

I took the photo below this morning as the team sat down to make a plan for a day of canyoneering.  Adam Eakle with KSL Outdoors is spending the day shooting with us for a piece on canyoneering safety.  We are excited to have him (back) in the canyons for a day!  The weather is awesome, so here is hoping for some great shots with today's crew.  We'll keep you posted!

Spring is Here!

Greetings canyoneers and future canyoneers!  Spring has arrived early here in Escalante and therefore our season is already rockin and rollin!  Spring Breakers are arriving in Southern Utah to enjoy this fabulous weather.  (it could be snowing)... Trees are already greening up and the flowers are blooming.  Crew out in the canyons today, so I thought I would post a flower shot from in front of the shop this morning.  Cheers!

Wrap it up, put a bow on it and call it Season 2014! Make way for the 2015 schedule!!

Ready to start thinking and daydreaming about next year?  

We are happy to announce the 2015 Multi Day Trip schedule is out! Click on the link below to learn about all the fun adventures we're planning for next season. See you in 2015!

Excursions of Escalante 2015 Schedule 

Well folks, the days are getting shorter, the leaves are dropping and the busy season is winding down.  Soon Excursions will be following the summer sun south to Baja, MX where we'll be spending a little time relaxing and a lot of time poking around the backcountry of Baja, hunting down those hidden gems and secret spots for future Baja adventures. 

But first, let's look back at some of the highlights of our 2014 season...

Spring was beautiful, and the raptors were nesting! Rick rescued a very emaciated falcon chick from a canyon in the spring.  Last we heard from Best Friends was that the chick had regained strength and had been moved to the flight pen so he could beef up for a release!  

In August we had to say farewell to our assistant, Matt and his girlfriend Kami as they left Escalante for the Northwest and new adventures.  Matt started graduate school and last report was that he was happily emmersed in his studies and enjoying his classes. 

Excursions got technical.  Not only did we join the smartphone society (finally! our friends and family are very pleased.) but we also entered the wonderful world of social media!  Now you can follow our adventures and antics on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Trip Advisor, and Pinterest...as well as right here!! 

The 2014 season was filled with great people, wonderful adventures, and fun times with friends- new and old. Thanks to everyone for joining us for another amazing year doing what we love and sharing it with others. You made it happen.

Fall is here and the canyons are fun!

Fall foliage is turning on the mountain, the kids are back to school and the adults are out to play!  We had a great group out last weekend.  Jen and Beth of Scheels Sports in Utah drove down to spend part of their adventure weekend with us and we FINALLY were able to get some hard working, local Escalantites to join us!

The crew! Angelique, Amanda, Jen, Beth, Robert and Darrel are ready to have some fun!

Beautiful light in the canyon!

 Canyon selfie! Beth, Angelique and Jen take a break to take a shot!
