eastern Trailheads

---

​Eastern Region Trailheads are organized around the Chamberlain's Ranch shuttle route, the route all Top-Down Narrows hikers take. Along the way, we service these additional trailheads: East Rim, Englestead Hollow, East Mesa (Mystery Canyon), Birch Hollow, Orderville Canyon. We also offer custom pick-ups and drop-offs by customer request.

We try to organize an efficient shuttle schedule, enabling the most hikers to get to their desired trailhead promptly while also minimizing shuttle prices and our carbon footprint. The time restrictions indicated in each tab help us manage this efficiency effort. Please know that exact shuttle arrival times are impossible to predict, as weather and traffic conditions, as well as customer timeliness, sometime affect our schedule.

Cancellation Policy: You may cancel your reservation up to noon (12pm) the day before your schedule departure for a refund. You will be refunded the full amount, minus the $5 reservation fee taken at time of booking.
