All trails are graded for intensity, and some include exciting via ferrata fixed climbing routes. Amangiri also offers guided walks through a number of slot canyons close to the resort. Sculpted over millions of years by wind and water, slot canyons represent some of the region’s most unique sandstone formations with their curving, multicolored walls.
