Typical rates range from $200–$500 per day depending on location, guide credentials, group size, and route difficulty. You’ll see exact pricing when we match you with a guide.

Safety first. Guides monitor forecasts and will communicate options such as rescheduling, a different venue, or a weather-friendly objective. Exact policies vary by guide and are shared before booking.

Absolutely. We welcome beginners and families. Share ages and any concerns during booking so your guide can plan a fun, confidence-building day.

Most tours are active but approachable. If you can hike a couple of miles and climb a ladder, we can tailor a great day. For advanced objectives, we’ll confirm prerequisites and prepare a progression plan.

Group size depends on the route and permits. Smaller ratios keep you safer and climbing more. We’ll share options for private or small-group days and price accordingly.

Every guide in the Kokopelli network is personally interviewed and vetted. We verify certifications and insurance, and we prioritize character and mentorship over ego.
