Telluride Via Ferrata review: a private, guided climb past Bridal Veil Falls with gear included, dramatic views, and a serious physical challenge.
“Chad Peele, my guide was amazing. Everything was explained before we did it and we took everything in stages. It was challenging at times but Chad's calm manor and style put me at ease. The hike itself is beautiful and you are save. On the show wall - it is intense but a great sense of acheivement when you finish. An amazing experience.”
Review of Zion’s Tallest in Utah Via Ferrata, with rappelling, canyon views, pricing, fitness needs, gear, and booking advice.

Climb East Zion’s red cliffs, rappel into a slot canyon, and enjoy a small-group Via Ferrata adventure for $179.
“It was just the two of us with Whitney- she was relaxed and fun! We moved pretty quickly so we did an additional climb and rappel. Loved it! Ready for the next adventure!”
Climb Utah’s highest vertical Via Ferrata and rappel a red rock cliff in a guided one-hour Orderville adventure for all skill levels.
“This was an exhilarating and new experience for everyone in our group. All of us entered into this with some anxiety, some more than others but we all conquered our fears! We felt safe with the harnesses provided for safety and instructions on what to do. Our guide Koman provided support and encouragement and took pictures for us to capture these precious moments! We will do this again, whether it’s the same for self improvement or tackling a higher mountain! ROAM Adventures ROCKS!”
