Fourteenseasons out here
Hollowstone started with one van and one arch. It is still a small company: six guides, five vans, and a rule that no group is bigger than six.
Who we are
Guides first, company second.
Every person on our team has guided on the plateau for years. We know which pocket in the wall holds water after rain, where the light hits Mesa Arch in March, and when to turn around.
Small
Six guests, one guide, no exceptions.
Honest
No promised permits, no hidden fees.
Light
Leave No Trace, on every trail.
