Hike Bighorn Slot Canyon Near Escalante

TC and the ROAM ATV team delivered one of the most memorable days of our entire Utah trip. We were visiting from the Pacific Northwest — hiking Zion one day, Bryce Canyon the next — and this half-day ATV tour in Kanab was the perfect adventure in between. Our family of four was grouped with just one other family, which made the whole experience feel personal from the start. TC is the kind of guide who genuinely loves what he does — it comes through in everything. He shared the history of each stop, orchestrated the route so we somehow had every attraction almost entirely to ourselves (meanwhile other groups were finishing up just as we arrived — no accident there), and even did a little on-site science demo explaining how the rock formations were made. My kids were riveted. The peekaboo slot canyon left us speechless. It felt like something you’d only find inside a major national park, and yet — no crowds. The hidden lake cave was my older one’s favorite stop. My youngest (9) completely lost his mind at the sand hill sledding. That kid talked about it the rest of the trip. Here’s what we didn’t expect: TC planned a signature photo opportunity at each stop and took genuinely epic iPhone shots of our family. We’re printing them for Christmas cards. That alone would have made the tour worth it. One honest tip: bring goggles or sunglasses for everyone in your group, including the kids. The sand gets in your eyes during the driving portions and there aren’t loaners available — my littles were pretty uncomfortable until we figured out a workaround. Small thing, big difference. 10/10. Do this tour.
