Salt Lake City's Guided Hiking Tour in the Rockies

Beautiful hike, we got to see the blooming wildflowers!! James was very knowledgeable of the area, shared experiences and tips; polite and friendly family man!

This group hiking day trip in the stunning Little Cottonwood Canyon was by far the highlight of my first trip to Salt Lake City! Even though I booked as a solo female traveller, I was happy to be included in a friendly group. We chose Gloria Falls, a heart-racing trail to the top of serene water shed falls. Our guide, James, brought his unparalleled passion for and knowledge of all things outdoors, animals, terrain, weather and nature. He grew up hiking in Utah so I felt immediately safe on the trail. The trek was not only fun, but also incredibly informative. Our guide provided free snacks, water and enough breaks to keep our energy high and upbeat on hot day. 100% I'd do it again solo or with friends.

Last week was my first time in Salt Lake City and this hike was the highlight of my trip. As a solo female traveller, I was searching for a day time active, inclusive and fun group hike in nature and this hike certainly delivered. James, our guide, grew up in SLC and has unparalleled knowledge of the outdoors, animals, weather and hiking conditions. The hike was challenging yet well paced. Every stop came with a fun fact or story. James packed free healthy snacks and water, whixh kept us energised on a hot day. I met another solo traveller from Australia on the hike and we had fun conversations on the way up to Gloria waterfalls. The gorgeous Rocky Mountain scenery was well worth the city break. I highly recommend booking with James!

Thoughtful approach with hiking route tailored to participant capability and preference. Beautiful scenery and the right amount of challenge. Super knowledgeable and engaging guide. Loved it. Highly recommend.

Wonderful time. Friendly and knowledgeable about the flora and fauna and history. Great for families - felt safe the entire time. It was a modestly physical hike in that most people who would consider a hike will be able to do it, but it's challenging enough to be fun. And for those of us from flatter places, the sights were inspirational. Really pleasant and affordable. Would recommend and would do again.

James is a great guide! Such a good experience. He showed us nice sights. Took our pictures often without us having to ask. Brought plenty of snacks, waters, & lemonade. You can tell that he loves this job.

James was very enthusiastic and knew a lot about the area. He brought a lot of snacks and made sure everyone was doing well the entire hike. We highly recommend him and will do another hike with James next time we’re in SLC.

Had a super fun time on this hike. Everything is included (water, snacks, charcuterie board). Would definitely do it again!
