"Tallest in Utah" Via Ferrata & Rappelling

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. ROAM Outdoor Adventure Co has established itself as a standout operator in southern Utah’s outdoor community by blending technical adventure with accessibility.

The company's commitment to safety and immersive experiences without prerequisite skills means families, beginners, and seasoned outdoor fans can all tackle this unique route. Being one of the longest and highest Via Ferrata climbs in Utah, it bridges the gap between traditional scrambling and full-on rock climbing. Orderville lies just north of Kanab, a hub for Southwest Utah’s outdoor scene.

Known for its proximity to Zion National Park and the Grand Staircase-Escalante region, the area attracts visitors chasing big sky views and rugged terrain. ROAM’s Via Ferrata tour offers an active way to engage deeply with the landscape’s dramatic vertical relief, connecting participants physically and visually with this stunning corner of the American Southwest.
