Wilderness Horseback Riding and Outpost Packing
Enjoy having your own horse for a week while "on the trail"
as you develop Western riding skills. Even with no previous experience,
you can ride through the high country - all the way to 11,500 feet. You
will camp by streams, cook over open fires, see the world from a mountain
top, and enjoy "snowcones" in July!
National Parks Trips
Enjoy some of nature's most incredible formations and wonders in Zion,
Bryce, Capitol Reef, and Canyon Lands National Parks. Travel in the Ranch
vans and spend the day hiking trails, swimming in streams, cooling beneath
waterfalls, camping, and studying geological formations. Weather permitting,
two-day backpacking trips are taken down the world-famous Narrows of Zion
National Park.
Backpacking and Wilderness Training
Backpack the pine- and aspen-shaded trails of the 11,000-foot Aquarius
Plateau or trek through the dry streambeds of the San Raphael Desert regions.
You will find deep satisfaction in your newly discovered abilities. Learn
to live off the land in style, practice orienteering skills with a map,
compass and G.P.S. and develop self-reliance through wilderness training.
White Water Kayaking
You'll develop paddling & kayaking balance skills in the pond and
training rapids in a river near the Ranch. Once you are confident, you
will depart in kayaks to meet the challenges of the white water. Run the
rapids of two of America's most exciting rivers, the Green River and the
Colorado River.
Rock Climbing
The base site for this adventure is in the high granite of the Henry Mountains
or the spectacular grandeur of Arches National Park near Moab. Learn to
belay and rappel from qualified mountaineers. Then on belay or rappelling
down the face, you will come to know Ant Crack, Milk Shaker, and other
exciting climbs with qualified technical instructors and with the latest
safety methods.
Mountain Biking
Ride world-famous trails such as Slick Rock in Moab, Dixie and Fishlake
National Forestlands, Brian Head, as well as other National Parks and
private lands in beautiful southern Utah. On some trips, bikers strap
their sleeping bag, stove, and food on their mountain bikes and have a
"backpacking on wheels" experience.
Water Skiing
Lake Powell's 2,800 miles of shoreline wind through deep sandstone canyons
and gently rounded hills. The cool, clear water provides the ultimate
in developing water-skiing, wake-boarding, swimming, and windsurfing skills.
Knee boarding, sand dune rolling, and other exciting water activities
are enjoyed on this trip.
