Wonderful tour - This and another tour we took were amazing. Angie was a super guide. Very professional and knew not the trail and geology but the plants along the way.

Great summer day in Kanab - We loved our hike at Wire Pass Slot Canyon with Angie. She was an excellent and informed guide. She shared information throughout our hike that made our trip educational as well as pleasant. She was wonderfully easy to talk with. We had to cut our hike short due to mud, but Angie drove us to a beautiful area of Grand Staircase Escalante, where we enjoyed information about the area as well as the air conditioning on a hot day. I highly recommend the experience!

Best day in Buckskin Gulch with Circle Tours - Hiked Buckskin Gulch with Grand Circle Tours. Owner Kyle was most accommodating to our many questions. Our guide Angie was so informative and tailored the hike to our desires and skills. We learned so much, had an incredible hike and saw amazing natural rock formations. We could never had such an experience without a guide nor had been as confident with weather, flood, and navigation in the canyon. THANK YOU KYLE and ANGIE!!!
