If you're looking for a safe, fun, and rewarding rock climbing and canyoneering experience in Moab, look no further than the Red River Company and their guide, Nate. Nate was meticulous in ensuring all protocols were followed. He provided thorough demonstrations, double-checked our gear, and offered personalized tips that made a huge difference in our climbing technique. Nate also fostered a supportive and encouraging atmosphere within the group. It was clear he was invested in everyone having a positive experience.
Amazing first canyoneering experience for our 2 families! 4 kids and 4 adults and we loved our day! Highly recommend Nate and Molly! We hope to come back and do it again!
April 2025 We did the Bow and Arrow Canyon Canyoneer Adventure. Nate was a great guide, very patient with two of us repelling for the first time. Felt as safe as one could, being nervous, going off 115ft repel. Would definitely recommend.
My boyfriend and I went on a 1/2 day canyoneering trip and our guide was Nate. Nate was fantastic and very knowledgeable about the land, historical facts, and repelling. We felt very safe and he was always very supportive and motivating with the repels! They had a very good variety of heights and the hike was a perfect length and came with amazing views!
Ben showed patience and professionalism both times he took me into the backcountry. I highly recommend going out with him if you want to move from the resort to the backcountry.
Our guide, Carl, was fantastic and especially did a great job catering to our group's needs which ranged from entry level to more experienced. Not much more to say other than an absolutely incredible day! We'll be back for sure. Thank you Red River!
Great tour in epic pow. Smart and fun terrain choices tailored to the group ability. Good communication. Will book again!
Seamless booking. Carl was helpful to get me setup with the BEST guide, I mean superb . My first time back country skinning and then riding deep powder, I was so thankful that TY my guide was calm, patient , knowledgeable , picked me up when tired, very positive and given all the tips to help me thru the challenges. Will book again ! If you request TY you’ll be set for a spectacular day going at the pace you choose! I learned so much thanks red rivers!
have done two backcountry ski tours with John L, super nice guy, knowledgeable, patient and a great experience. Won't hesitate to come back again!
Victoria, my guide, made safe decisions and still showed me thigh high powder and a great tour
I took my level 1 avalanche course with Red River Adventures and couldn't be happier. Our instructor Garth was very knowledgeable and made the trip fun with his experience and jokes!
Would give 10 🌟 if I could. We went out once with Vic in February, and again yesterday. Phenomenal people, great communication, and an emphasis on safety, learning, and having a great time.
Great experience with Garth and Red River as a whole! Highly recommend them to anyone looking for trainings or guided trips
Very knowledgeable guides that made for a great experience. Vic and Brian rock. 10/10 recommend.
Red River was amazing from start to finish. This was my first backcountry experience and the team was super helpful and answered all my questions as I planned the trip. The gear, instruction, and guiding were all top notch and I would absolutely recommend this company for any of your adventures, especially backcountry skiing. I couldn’t imagine a more knowledgable, helpful, patient, and fun guide - Victoria. She is a true professional and speaks very highly of the company. I definitely lucked out stumbling across their Facebook ad. They take safety very seriously but it doesn’t impede the fun at all. Thank you again for a great trip!
AIARE 1 with Brian and Vic exceeded my expectations, this was a refresher course for me, and I learned much more than I did the first time around. They did an amazing job instructing and guiding, were very knowledgeable and honest. Gave me everything I could ask for, 10/10 would recommend.
My 14-year old son and I had a great day of backcountry skiing with Victoria. Some gnarly weather came in, but we managed to ski some great snow, and my son learned a lot about backcountry travel. I hope to get the chance to be a return customer!
Epic day with John. Learned a lot and had a great time. Highly recommend!
Great outfit to work with and Nate was a fab guide for some great ice climbing. Will definitely use again when I’m in the area. Overall couldn’t ask for better!!
Brian and Victoria did an excellent job leading my AIARE 1 course. They created a great atmosphere for learning from their experience/knowledge and from each other. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
My daughter and I joined Red River Adventures on a mid-February Hokkaido Japan ski trip. We had unforgettable access to world class Hokkaido pow! Carl and his team were awesome. RRA checked all the boxes: Dialed-in Logistics (from airport to hotel to ski venues to dining), Quality lodging, Unique ski venues (away from the crowds), In-country connection with local guides, And most importantly, friendly and professional guides who were knowledgable with the ski terrain and also provided helpful general tips for more efficient touring and personal instruction- allowing us to really dial-in our powder skiing technique. We thoroughly enjoyed the company of our travel group and left Japan with big smiles and lasting memories.
I took the AIARE 1 course with Red River Adventure. Brian and Vic were getting guides and teachers! Very knowledgeable. The course delivered above and beyond!
Reviewing Japow trip to Hokkaido in winter of 2025. In a word, fantastic. Go if you can. I enjoyed just about every aspect of the trip. Before we started our trip Carl gave us a packing list, and a link to a Japan website that sped up our navigating through Japanese customs. I appreciated the ease by which we were able to coordinate getting picked up at the airport by our group guide due to a multi-hour delay in a connecting city. I thought the hotels were great (though small by Western standards, but that is simply how space is used in Japan, efficiently--read, small). The locations and terrain were awesome. I always felt like the Red River team maintained the group dynamics really well, we simply had a great group and I enjoyed getting to know folks on the trail, in the van or at the dinners spots we hit. We lucked out and had fresh snow every day but I feel that even if we didn't Carl and his team would have known where to go for fresh turns. Really hope I can do this again.
Professional and approachable guides drilled the avalanche material into us over three days. Thanks!
My friend and I went on a full day backcountry ski tour with Timmy in Big Cottonwood Canyon. It was all we had hoped for in a day in the woods together but far more enjoyable than expected. The terrain Timmy took us on was to our experience level. He pushed us a bit, encouraged us, taught us some things and he had a great attitude and sense of humor. Thanks, Timmy!
Best AARIE 1 course out there! 10/10 Vic and Brian were absolutely awesome!! They went above and beyond to make sure we were all learning everything we could relevant to our situation! Some seriously knowledgeable people and really wonderful teachers! The resources and information they managed to provide over a 3 say course was absolutely phenomenal. I could not give a better review it was an absolute pleasure to spend time in the mountains with these guys!
Guides were amazing, very professional, very knowledgeable, created a great atmosphere for fun and for learning
My wife and I spent 6 days skiing JAPOW with the Red River crew and it was amazing! Incredible food, deep snow, and Onsen was the daily routine and it was absolutely perfect. Great line choices as well!
Best group out there. Extremely knowledgeable people and super fun to be around. 100% would recommend for guided tours!
Victoria was an incredible leader for the Womens Avy 1 clinic. She was so knowledgable, accomadating, and created a supportive environment for our course. I learned so much and feel so happy to have had this opportunity to participate in her class.
I took the AIARE 1 Course and was lucky to get Sam and Brian as instructors, plus Robbie who is almost certified. Not only did we learn a ton about planning a safe route in the backcountry, we had lots of hands on practice with rescue, general safety while in the field, and gear management. 12/10 recommend
Victoria was fabulous — I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor for my Aiare 1 course.
Nate was a fantastic guide. Ice climbing is something I wanted to try for quite awhile. Red River Adventures gave me the chance to experience this. Really fantastic adventure!
We just returned from a fabulous JAPOW trip that ranks as Best in Class! Carl and his team clearly put in an incredible amount of thought and preparation to make this a fantastic experience from every aspect. Besides their professionalism, their safety focus, and their almost unreal ability to find untracked powder, they are just fun companions with whom to spend the week. Highly recommend.
My friend and I (indoor rock climbers/minimal to no ice climbing experience) went on a trip to Midway, UT for XC skiing and the crater, and decided to add on ice climbing. We got rescheduled because of a relative heat wave that melted most of the ice. The owners were extremely accommodating in moving us and offered a refund. We opted to wait a couple of days and ultimately we went out in Provo Canyon two days later (our first choice location due to its proximity to Midway) and had a great, full-day experience adjusted to our level! Shoutouts to Tanya (owner/owner’s wife) for staying in regular communication with us, and Brian, our guide, for a wonderful day!
We had an incredible trip with Red Rivers Adventures in Hokkaido, Japan! Carl, John and Ayu were amazing guides. We highly recommend this lifetime experience.
Brian and Sam rule!!! They were very friendly and helpful. Judgement free zone! 10/10 would recommend
Knowledgeable and patient avalanche guides. Couldn’t ask for more
Very fun and helpful course for AIARE 1. Learned a lot and had a great time with my instructors and other class mates
Fantastic course led by awesome, professional folks. Would highly recommend to anyone. Thank you guys, I learned a ton.
Awesome day and Carl was fantastic as a guide. Super helpful tips when needed and fun to chat and ski with.
Great 1st ice climbing experience! Brian was a great guide.
Learned so much from John during our AIARE II course this weekend! Even got to ski a bunch of powder :)
John took me and my fiancé out for our first splitboarding experience and it was a fantastic time. He was an incredible guide and tailored the experience to our skill levels. He was friendly and non-judgmental while going out of his way to help us have a successful trip. He is widely known as a legend in this field. I would highly recommend this company and will plan to use their services in the future.
Brian was a great instructor! I appreciate his help and guidance.
Ben was an excellent instructor for the Avalanche Rescue course!
Had an awesome day!
This is an excellent 2 day avi course (plus a bit extra pre course prep). A ton of great information which makes a solid introduction to planning and executing safe backcountry ski and split boarding trips. John and Jeremy were excellent teachers and guides. Highly recommend it.
I took the all women’s class with Vic and it was incredible. I felt very supported through the entire class with a bunch of other incredible women! Would highly recommend doing a course with Vic if you’re feeling nervous at all. She is incredibly patient and knowledgeable about all things backcountry!
Awesome experience. Garth and Ben were great guides and we learned so much!
