We had an absolutely fantastic experience canyoneering at Lambs Knoll! We’re a family of five-two adults and three kids ages 12, 10, and 7-and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. Our guide, Josh, was outstanding. He was incredibly patient and attentive with all three kids, made everyone feel comfortable and safe, and was professional and knowledgeable throughout the entire experience. He knew exactly when to encourage the kids, when to give them a little extra time, and how to make the whole adventure fun and exciting for everyone. We all had an amazing time and couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Josh truly made the experience special for our family. We would absolutely recommend this experience-and Josh in particular-to other families. No doubt we’ll be back!Posted on Google![]()

Amazing. Unique. A must do adventure for every adventurer visiting Zion. Jack, our guide, put even this anxious momma at ease. Our entire family loved the family half day hike. If you love trying new things, choose Red Desert Adventures.Posted on Google![]()

Couldn’t have asked for a better first canyoneering experience for my 8 yo daughter than a family morning out in Zion with Sunny from Red Desert. Sunny was super encouraging and helped her feel safe during all aspects of technical traversing and rappelling. Now it’s her new favorite sport and we are planning our next canyoneering adventure. A direct quote: “super fun and a little bit scary”. Sunny was prompt, professional, and fun. Equipment was all in good condition. I highly endorse Red Desert and Sunny specifically.Posted on Google![]()

I can't even begin to put this experience into words. Our guide Josh was absolutely amazing. He was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and comforting when nerves got high and his jokes are top notch. We looked at so many rappelling companies in the area and I'm extremely grateful that we chose Red Desert. They gained a loyal customer.Posted on Google![]()

Jack was hands-down one of the best guides we’ve ever had. From the moment we met him in Zion, it was clear we were in expert hands. He struck the perfect balance between professionalism and fun—calm, knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely excited to share the experience with us. Rappelling and canyoneering with Jack was both thrilling and confidence-boosting. He explained everything clearly, prioritized safety at every step, and somehow made even the most intimidating drops feel doable (and epic). On top of that, he knew the area incredibly well and added so much context about Zion that made the whole adventure even more special. If you’re considering rappelling or canyoneering in Zion, do yourself a favor and go with Jack. This was a highlight of our Utah trip and an experience we’ll be talking about for years. Couldn’t recommend him more!Posted on Google![]()

Buddy of mine and Josh (tour guide), took me canyoneering! Definitely an introduction to a fun hobby. Josh accommodated us perfectly, was super knowledgeable about zion’s landmarks, had a couple cool stories, and played the perfect role of a third brake. Super down to earth guy, and made my first run ever super enjoyable. No fear when he’s behind the safety rope! 10/10 experience. P.S. Josh will rappel down faster than your eyes can catch up.Posted on Google![]()

Came not knowing what to expect, and we were completely blown away! The canyoneering experience was so much fun, a mix of adventure, challenge, and beautiful scenery. Our instructor Eric was incredibly friendly and encouraging, which made a huge difference. Thanks to his guidance, our group actually finished way more tracks than the other teams that day. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone looking for something exciting and memorable.
