EXPERIENCE EXTREMELY BEAUTIFUL, PHOTOGENIC NATURE WITH NO ONE ELSE AROUND!

Take the most remote beautiful tour out through the heart of the Vermilion Cliffs to the Soap Creek, an unspoiled largely unvisited but incredibly captivating photogenic location. Includes a great scenic drive through formation-filled Pinnacle Valley and a short stop for photos, a stop at the huge area of linear brain rocks of Joe’s Ranch, a 1 mile each way hike out to the “Great Wall of Colors” and the Grand Canyon view as well as a hike through the main Soap Creek Amphitheater.

If you really want to get away from crowds of people and take some great photographs, this is the right one for you. We’re the only ones who go out there, as there isn’t time enough in the day to do it from Page or Kanab.

The largely unvisited southwest side of the Vermilion Cliffs National Monument is covered with colorful formations — really a landscape photographer’s dream.

Our Soap Creek tour really shows it to you, taking you through the heart of the Monument out through formation-rich Pinnacle Valley then on to the huge area of other worldly rock formations of Joe’s Ranch and then on out to the edge to see the stunning colors of Soap Creek.

It’s virtually unvisited because of deep sand, remoteness, and actually the fact that people haven’t found it yet.

$200 + TAX per person ($220 TOTAL)

TESTIMONIALS

GREAT EXPERIENCE!

My girlfriend and I had a very positive experience with Paria Outfitters. We stayed in the bed and breakfast two nights, July 25th and 26th. The room was very clean. Each morning Susan made us a fantastic breakfast of eggs, toast, fresh fruit, yogurt, orange juice and coffee. She also prepared a great lunch. I am a vegetarian. Susan could have just given me a couple of carrots in a bag but she expended the extra effort and made a avocado, and cheese sandwich with lettuce and tomato. It and the rest of the lunch were really wonderful after hiking. The other nice thing is they load you up with liquids. It is all you can drink.

We had two hikes. The first, July 26th, was to Coyote Buttes South and White Pockets. Our guide was Berndt. First off the roads were worse than any I have been on before. They are a great place to destroy your rental vehicle. Berndt negotiated them with ease. He showed us and the Swiss couple, also on the hike, interesting landforms and gave us ample time to photograph them.

The second hike, July 27th, was with Steve and Mike. Steve took my girlfriend and I on a hike into the Vermillion Cliffs to the edge of the plateau where we could look over the edge and see the Grand Canyon. It was a spectacular view made even more so by the thunderstorm of in the distance over the Grand Canyon. It was an all day thing. Steve has experience working with photographers. What I like about Steve is he takes you to an area and then stands back and lets you discover it for yourself. I like working that way, But I am sure that if you needed more direction, he could offer it since he knows the area so well. He took us to some fantastic places. I did some great work on that hike. Steve is a great guide and he had some funny stories for the trip back. He and his wife are very personable and we felt very welcome. In the past I have had bad experiences with guides before. Steve earned my confidence right away and I highly recommend him and plan to use his services again.

SIDESTEP CANYON

If you’re a good hiker hike the three miles or so to see largely unvisited SIDESTEP CANYON, a giant green-colored valley full of literally hundreds of balanced rocks, from 3 feet tall to 150 feet tall. Great for viewing a spectacular example of unique geology and excellent photographic opportunities.

NORTH COYOTE BUTTES & SOUTH COYOTE BUTTES

The famous NORTH COYOTE BUTTES or SOUTH COYOTE BUTTES. IF you can be in Kanab, Utah at 9 a.m., try the North Coyote Buttes  Wave Lottery at the Kanab BLM visitor Center on Highway 89, or be there at 10 a.m. to try for a permit to the South Coyote Buttes, which, though less known, is easily as good or perhaps even better than the famous “Wave” that everyone wants. It’s easier to get this permit as well. However, only ten permits are available for each area per day at the Visitor Center. Permits are issued for the next day.
