Moab Utah Adventure Tours Rockaneering Adventure Tour – Full Day Trip – 300 BC Adventure Tour

Book Your Trip Now

Requiring more stamina than our 1/2 Day Trips, our “intermediate” 300 BC Rockaneering Trip is for those with prior climbing or canyoneering experience.  The exertion of scrambling, stemming, climbing, and hiking as well as the rope work of canyoneering -often near drops- create an engaging trip for those looking for a more challenging day working at heights.

A few short miles from Moab is a series of VERY LARGE rock features that create our latest, favorite vertical playground. With short, technical climbs, we quickly ascend increasingly higher rock shelves.

Once on top, we scale ramps, walk across narrow fins, and climb modest spires. Occasional rappels drop us to short slot canyons and water polished grooves before we ascend again to the top of another bizarre feature and our next challenge.

Careful route-finding unlocks access to the fun and mysteries of the rocks and rim-top views are amazing!  Many sections we travel through are exciting with short stretches of exposed climbing, but the highest and most exposed challenges are optional, allowing you to tackle them only if you feel prepared.

**Because of the unique terrain and the opportunities it presents, 300BC Rockaneering is a Private Trip at no extra cost!**
