Designated hiking trails

Guests are welcome to explore the property at their own pace along the 12 miles of designated trails. Trails are marked by signs, wayfinding posts and rock cairns. They vary in length and difficulty and offer beautiful views of the property as well as the opportunity to uncover archaeological and natural wonders. Amangiri’s experienced guides can also escort guests through some of the most striking geological features of the Colorado Plateau.

 

The Via Ferrata Challenge and Cave Peak Stairway

Invented centuries ago in the Italian Alps, a Via Ferrata (‘iron road’) is a series of cables and ladder rungs, fixed to the rock face to enable the ascent of steep mountain routes. The climbs and drops can be an adrenaline ride, but Via Ferratas also offer an opportunity to get up close to the fascinating geology of the terrain.

Well suited to thrill-seekers, the Cave Peak Stairway has 120 steps and is a unique installation raising 400 feet (122 metres) above the ground. Amangiri's guests are invited to take to the stairs after completing the Cave Peak Via Ferrata and will be rewarded with an incredible panorama from the top. With an unmatched vertical route of ascent, a spectacular position, and a summit visible from the resort, it is destined to be an iconic and exhilarating adventure.

 

UTV Tour 

The Ultimate Terrain Vehicle (UTV) is a safe and adventurous way to explore, allowing guests to access harder-to-reach hiking trails and viewpoints. Guests will be driven by a professional, informative guide who will endeavor to make the journey to your hiking destination an adventure in itself.

 

E-Bike

E-bike tours are a fun way for riders of mixed ability to ride together and enjoy the exercise, scenery, and fresh air. The e-bikes’ pedal assist helps guests increase their range and enjoyment while riding a mountain bike
