Descend Into Moab’s Bow & Arrow Canyon: Four Thrilling Rappels, Endless Memories


Starting with a scenic hike among the towering sandstone fins just off Potash Road, this canyoneering adventure leads you through Moab’s stunning red rock maze to the impressive Longbow Arch. As you weave through narrow slots and sculpted walls, your guides will teach you the art of rappelling—each descent a little more thrilling than the last.


You’ll tackle four rappels in total, each one building your confidence and excitement. The adventure begins with a short 15-foot warm-up rappel, or, for those craving more adrenaline, an optional 100-foot version. The second rappel drops 120 feet, opening up to sweeping views of the canyon below. The third rappel is a 70-foot descent, mostly low-angle with just a touch of vertical. Finally, you’ll finish with a 60-foot rappel that lands you right next to our pickup location.


Along the way, your expert guides will point out ancient petroglyphs, fossilized dinosaur tracks, and the fascinating geology that makes this area so unique. You’ll learn, laugh, and push yourself just enough to feel the rush of accomplishment that comes from exploring Moab’s hidden canyons.


No prior rappelling experience is required—just a good sense of adventure and confidence in your hiking ability. Sustained ascents and uneven terrain make this a rewarding challenge for those ready to earn their bragging rights.
