As they do so, they witness stunning strata of sandstone accumulated over many millennia. The canyon then widens, permitting access to the second rappelling point. This exceptional free-hanging rappel is a thrilling 120 feet alongside Morning Glory Natural Bridge. The bridge, with a span of 243 feet, counts among the largest natural land bridges in the United States.

Excellent experience!! - Hands down- the highlight of our trip to Moab! We hiked all throughout Arches NP and Canyonlands NP and had a great time, but the final day we met up with Landon at Paddle Moab and we are so happy that we did! From the time that we walked in the door- the entire staff is so pleasant and kind- and Landon was amazing. We told him that we're brand new to rappeling and knew nothing about it. He was knowledgeable, patient, and wonderful with us. Kudos to Landon and the entire group at Paddle Moab. We can't wait to come back and do it again!! So, so fun!!

Fantastic part of our trip! - What a fantastic experience!! We are completely new to rappeling and had no clue in where to start. Landon was amazing! He was knowledgeable, patient, and the perfect guide for us. We hiked Arches and Canyonlands- but rappelling with Landon was the absolute highlight of our trip to Moab! The best!

Step outside of your comfort zone, it will be worth it! - This experience far exceeded my expectations. I was pretty nervous about this excursion when I planned it with my 2 boys (10 & 12 yrs) but found it to be my favorite one we did. I always felt safe & trusted our guide, Nate, who was awesome. The hike to & from the cliffs was also something we thoroughly enjoyed. I felt safer being with Nate than even trying that hike on our own. Highly recommend to families!!

Adventure hike safe skilled fun - We really enjoyed our experience. We took our boys, 8 and 10, and our guide Nate very patient and skilled at coaching them to get down the canyons safely. It was a beautiful 2.5 mile hike out of the desert after rappelling. You’ll need to bring your own backpacks, which can be worn during rappelling, and lots of water. I highly recommend the Paddle Moab team!

First canyon rappel hike, and not the last - We really enjoyed our hike and rappel through and out the Grandstaff canyon trail. Landon was our guide. The hike was casual and sometimes challenging. Safety seemed second nature to him yet he explained new things very well.

Rappelling Adventure Moab is Incredible! - Nate Greenberg was an incredible guide! My brother and I went on the morning tour and he was one of the most helpful and friendly guides I’ve ever experienced. I highly recommend the rappelling adventure and canyoneering through Grandstaff Canyon. The views are incredible and Paddle Moab makes sure that the experiences caters to people brand new to anything like this. Well worth the money!
