Staircase Stables

Brooke Weaver owns and operates Staircase Stables out of Paria, Utah — a settlement on Route 89 between Kanab and Page, Arizona, pinned between the Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument to the north and the Vermilion Cliffs to the south. The ride she offers is a two-hour guided trail through a slot canyon with 100-foot sandstone walls. It runs year-round on an appointment basis, with summer scheduling shifted to morning and evening to keep riders out of the peak heat.

The location is specific to a purpose: Paria's surrounding terrain is among the most dramatic in Kane County, and the canyon Weaver guides through is tight enough that the sandstone walls do the work of orienting every rider to where they are. Wranglers accompany all rides and share regional history and geology throughout.

Guests who contact ahead can request complimentary photo documentation during the ride — a practical offering that suits the setting. Group sizing is kept small, and advance booking by phone or text is required. Staircase Stables is the horseback operation that serves Paria River Ranch's horse camping guests who arrive without their own mounts.
