Combine the three great hiking destinations with a day of SUPing on green waters. This is a multisport trip that samples some of the most photogenic spots in the southwest. 


Valley of Fire state park displays amazing hiking trails among fiery red rocks and sandstone sculputed by wind and water. Time allows for photography, exploration, and hikes to ancient rock art left by native tribes who inhabited the area before us. Southern Utah boasts some of the most iconic scenery in the United States, and we will take time to explore some natural coral sand dunes, as well as spend some time pumping up our SUPs for a morning exploring water. 


Head to a lesser known and less crowded area for camping that evening, and take some time to explore the area by headlamp. Crawl into your tent as the stars blanket you for the night. Wake up to the smell of fresh coffee before exploring the canyon nestled among pinyon pines, sagebrush, black lava and red cliffs. This itinerary was prepared by our owner who is from Utah, and is a favorite among guides as well as guests. Although the area is smaller, it rivals Zion in beauty without the crowds or congestion.

Hikes & SUPs in a Photogenic Paradise!

Pack your sense of adventure and get ready for an incredible multisport experience that combines the thrill of hiking through stunning landscapes with the serene fun of stand-up paddleboarding (SUPing) on green waters! Get your camera ready—this trip is a feast for the eyes and the soul. 🌟


Valley of Fire State Park Extravaganza

Start your adventure at Valley of Fire State Park, where the rocks deserve as many selfies as you do! This majestic park dazzles with its fiery red rock formations that seem straight out of a sci-fi movie. Lace up your hiking boots and hit the trails as you explore nature's artwork—hiking paths wind through breathtaking canyons and intriguingly shaped hoodoos that have been sculpted by time, wind, and a dash of magic!


Snap, Explore, Discover

You’ll have plenty of time to unleash your inner photographer. Capture shots of vibrant landscapes and ancient rock art left by the native tribes who roamed these lands long before our time. Remember to strike a pose next to the petroglyphs—they’ve been waiting thousands of years for a snapshot with you!


The Iconic Orange Sand Dunes Await!

Next, we'll set our sights on a hidden gem in Southern Utah—the coral sand dunes! Picture this: powdery, blush-colored sands that stretch beyond the horizon, offering soft spots to relax or make sand angels. You might just want to roll around like a joyful seal—who could resist such a picturesque backdrop?


Morning SUP—Glide Through Green Waters

After a fun-filled afternoon exploring the dunes, we’ll pump up our SUPs for a memorable morning of paddleboarding. Imagine gliding across tranquil green waters, the sun kissing your skin, while the lush landscapes surround you. It’s a peaceful yet exhilarating experience that offers stunning views at every stroke! Perfect for both experts and newbies, this part of the trip sets the stage for laughter and memories.


Evening Under the Stars

As dusk falls, we’ll retreat to a lesser-known camping spot where we’ll pitch our tents away from the crowds. Embrace the sounds of nature and embark on a mini-exploration by headlamp—think of yourself as a modern-day explorer seeking nighttime adventures among the towering pinyon pines and sagebrush.  Crawl into your cozy tent as the stars blanket the night sky, showcasing a cosmic show that puts any planetarium to shame. Close your eyes under a ceiling of twinkling stars, listening to the gentle rustle of the wind.


Rise & Shine with Aromatic Brews

Wake up to the enticing aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafting through the air—an essential part of any great adventure! Sip your morning coffee while soaking in the spectacular views of majestic red cliffs and black lava rock that surround you. This is life at its finest!


Explore Your Own Little Canyon Wonderland

After breakfast, it’s time to lace up those boots again and explore the hidden canyon nestled among the stunning landscape! This less-traveled path offers breathtaking views and solitude rivaling that of Zion National Park but without the crowds. Meander through lush flora, snap some more epic photos, and soak in the raw beauty of Utah’s wilderness!


A Favorite Itinerary Crafted with Love

This meticulously crafted itinerary comes straight from our adventurous owner, a proud Utahn who knows these lands like the back of their hand. It’s not just a trip; it’s a cherished experience that has become a favorite among our guides and daring guests.

With ample opportunity for stunning photographs, laughter, and a dash of adventure, you’ll weave together memories that last a lifetime. So gear up, grab your sense of wonder, and let the magic of the Southwest unfold! Pack your bags and let’s create some unforgettable stories together! 🚶‍♀️🏕️🥾🌅
