Climbing in Clifton

Nestled in the La Sal Mountain range of southeastern Utah, Raven's Rim Zip Line Adventure treats visitors to unsullied views of the Great Basin before launching them feet-first on zooming ziplines. After rumbling over 2 miles of off-road terrain in a 6-seater Polaris Ranger (this adventure is not recommended for customers with bad backs), guests walk over rugged mountain terrain to reach the start of the multitiered zipline course. Once there, participants safely link up to a series of lines that send them soaring on zips runs more than a thousand feet long over otherworldly ridge and valley landscapes and arid ecosystems.

The professional guides at Red River Adventures expose adventurous individuals to the rugged and untamed splendor of Utah's rocks, rivers, and canyons with trips designed for all skill levels. The Fisher Towers whitewater-rafting trips pair smaller, intimate groups of four to six paddlers (40 lbs. or more) with a licensed Utah river guide for a 14-mile adventure along Onion Creek, Professor Creek, Cloudburst, and Ida Gulch. Before provoking the Class III wrath of Poseidon, the guides will review safety procedures and outfit swashbucklers with U.S. Coast Guard–approved lifejackets. From the safety of the river-faring craft, paddlers absorb a soaring view of the Fisher Towers, as well as canyon walls that line the waterway and enable time-bending communication with ancient yodelers.
