Private Hiking, Backpacking & Snowshoeing

Private Hikes, Guided Backpacking Trips & Snowshoeing Tours

Benefit from the knowledge and leadership of a guide on a non-technical mountain hike, overnight backpacking trip or snowshoeing adventure. From alpine lakes and wildflower meadows to quiet winter forests, UMA guides help you explore deeper with confidence and ease.

Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons offer incredible terrain for day hikes, overnight routes and snowshoeing tours with sweeping views, rugged peaks and old-growth forests just minutes from the city. In summer and fall, venture out for a half-day, full-day or multi-day trip. In winter, strap on snowshoes and discover the Wasatch backcountry in its quietest, most peaceful form.

Go beyond the trailhead with one of UMA’s professional, friendly mountain guides and experience the Utah mountains in every season.
