ROAM Outdoor Adventure Co invites thrill-seekers to test their nerves and strength with the "Tallest in Utah" Via Ferrata & Rappelling tour, located near the quaint town of Orderville, Utah. This 4-hour climbing expedition scales nearly 1,000 feet up dramatic red and white rock faces characteristic of the region’s rugged geology. The route winds through three challenging pitches, secured by fixed cables and iron rungs that allow guests without any climbing background to safely ascend vertical walls.
One of the tour’s signature moments is the adrenaline-pumping 220-foot rappel into a white rock mini slot canyon, a rare geological feature that snakes through the sandstone, offering a thrilling descent amid sculpted curves and natural light shafts. Upon reaching the summit, climbers are rewarded with sweeping vistas of Orderville Valley and the eastern edges of Zion National Park—an iconic backdrop of towering Navajo sandstone cliffs and deep green pockets of desert vegetation.
