ACCESS

We help provide new outdoor access opportunities throughout Utah.

Outdoor access is the #1 reason people move to Utah

Outdoor access is also the #1 reason people want to REMAIN in Utah.

Our vision

We’ve experienced record numbers of people wanting to get outside during the last couple of years. Many people are unprepared or not educated on the available activities or they lack knowledge about accessing or using the outdoors safely and responsibly.

We strive to help lower barriers to outdoor opportunities and provide outdoor education for recreational mountain sports and activities throughout the State of Utah—to include people of various abilities and interest levels.

History of Vertical Trails and Via Ferrata

As a Nonprofit, our focus is on vertical trails (Via Ferrata) across the State of Utah and looking for and exploring other outdoor opportunities across Utah.

In Italian, “Via Ferrata” means “iron path.” Consisting of metal ladders and thick safety wires positioned strategically over rock faces. Generally speaking, vertical trails require no prior experience. These routes are a fantastic way to access these areas for beginner climbers. They’re also the perfect sporting alternative for those who want the same thrill without the need for advanced climbing skills.

Need this in Utah locations throughout the State of Utah

Europe and Canada have thousands of Via Ferrata routes, while the US only has a few mostly private-use guided-only options.
