We sent some GG’s out for a grand adventure last month in the Southern Utah desert.

It all started when photographers Scott Cody and Mike Cartier pitched us a wild idea: a mountain bike trip to ride the narrow Slot Canyons of Utah and in turn, get some pretty epic photos. Our response? “Let’s do it.” 

While the concept might sound simple at first glance, the logistics of getting into, shooting, and riding a slot canyon are no easy feat. You need a strong affinity for “type II” fun. 

Beyond just getting there, some pretty technical riding skills are needed (as demonstrated below) to navigate through narrow canyon walls and down steep spines of the desert “mountains”.

And while we couldn’t join them on the trip, we were able to relive the adventure through the incredible moments they captured…
