Backpacking & Rappelling: Neon Canyon with All Ways Adventure


The backdrop for Neon Canyon was the last area to be mapped in the lower 48 states due to its challenging and nearly impassable terrain. Join us on this 3-day adventure through this unique landscape. Hike under clear blue Utah skies, surrounded by sculpted red canyon walls. You’ll cross pond-like pools, rappel off logs wedged between the walls, and finish with a rappel through the Golden Cathedral.


Despite its popularity among both guided and unguided groups, few venture into Neon Canyon due to its difficult access. Reaching the canyon requires a high-clearance 4WD vehicle, a tough hike across open desert, and good navigation skills. The route itself demands proper backpacking and canyoneering gear, and the ability to handle deep slots with keeper potholes, long swims, and cold water.


With All Ways Adventure, our guides ensure you have everything needed to complete the trip safely and successfully. We provide necessary gear and guidance, making this rugged adventure accessible to those prepared for the challenge. For a unique experience, Neon Canyon offers an unforgettable journey.
