This is your opportunity to explore Prescott's Granite Dells from new heights, literally!
The Granite Dells that surround Willow Lake and Watson Lake are a unique treasure that has nearly 750 climbing routes in them. Most routes are shorter, but still pack a wide breadth of adventure. All of that adventure comes with easy access as well, with the vast majority of climbing areas accessible with only a 10-20 miunute walk from the car. As an added bonus, there are an extensive amount of routes that provide breathtaking views with every step up.
Since there are a plentiful amount of great climbing areas in the Granite Dells, we work with our clients to create a personalized climbing trip that caters to their skillset and aspirations. This information can be discussed before or after trip booking.

Cancellation Policy
We'll notify participants on a case-by-case basis if anything changes with a course or trip they have registered for.
We know that sometimes things happen and you might need to cancel your reservation. That’s why you’ll get a full refund, minus booking fees, if you cancel more than 48 hours before your Course or Trip, should you wish to cancel or transfer due to COVID-19 health or safety concerns—or for any reason at all. You can cancel through contacting info@granitemtnguides.com.
If GMG cancels for any reason, you will receive a full refund, minus fees, but please note: bad weather does not mean automatic cancellation. We’ll always notify you if your course or trip has been canceled.
Cancellation by the Participant
YOU MAY CANCEL YOUR TRIP FOR A FULL REFUND, MINUS BOOKING FEES, AT ANY TIME UP TO 48-HOURS PRIOR TO THE COURSE OR TRIP START DATE. To receive a refund, cancel or reschedule your registration no later than 48 hours before the start of the event.
Inside of 48-hrs you may cancel the trip at any time up until 24-hrs prior to the course or trip start date retaining a full credit for a future course or trip, less a 25% rebooking fee. Cancellation within 24-hrs of a course or the trip start date will result in the issuing of a credit for a future trip minus a 50% rebooking fee, so please consider purchasing travel insurance if you think short notice cancellation is a possibility. No refunds for weather-related delays or weather-related changes in trip itineraries. No credits or refunds for no-shows or those opting to leaving early.
Cancellation by Granite Mountain Guides
In rare circumstances, we may need to cancel a scheduled course or trip. Granite Mountain Guides reserves the right to cancel any course or trip for any reason, at any time. Typically cancellations by Granite Mountain Guides are the result of either extreme weather conditions, unavailability of instructors/guides (e.g. illness), or the inability to gather enough participants to run a course. In such cases, all participants who have signed up and paid deposits or full-trip payments will first be offered a 100% credit towards a future course or trip with Granite Mountain Guides. If that is not able to be agreed upon, participants will be refunded their payment, less any applicable credit card transaction fees incurred by Granite Mountain Guides as a consequence of processing credit card transactions. We cannot refund travel arrangements (e.g. airline flights, rental cars, etc.) which is why we strongly recommend travel insurance.
Our precautions for COVID-19
What you can expect from us:
Health Assessment
Participants, guides and instructors will perform health screenings prior to the event, evaluating any possible COVID-19 symptoms or exposure. On the day of the event, participants will again be asked about any symptoms or exposure and may have their temperatures checked. We also require all employees to check themselves for COVID-19 symptoms before each shift and to stay home if they feel unwell.
Face Coverings
For the safety of our Clients and Guides, CDC-recommended face coverings are recommended at various times throughout each experience based upon the current Covid-19 Comunity Levels. Fully vaccinated guests may still need to mask up in certain situations. While being worn, all face coverings must fully cover the nose and mouth. Face coverings made of mesh or other loosely knit fabric are not permitted Face coverings made of mesh or other loosely knit fabric are not permitted.
Sanitized Equipment
Gear and equipment intended to be used by one person for the duration of the outing will be issued on an individual basis. Everything gets cleaned and disinfected after each outing, or will be regularly sanitized throughout, depending on its use.
Small Group Sizes
Granite Mountain Guides courses and trips have always been designed for smaller groups. Because of the pandemic, we are further reducing group sizes and encouraging more private group bookings. Smaller groups let us spread out more during meals/breaks and activities.
Physical Distancing
Whether on the trail or on the rock, guides will support physical distancing for unvaccinated participants during activities whenever possible.

Trip: A Day in the Dells
Guide: Hannah W.
Such a fun trip in the Dells! Hannah was a great guide. We had an awesome time checking out a couple different climbing areas and soaking in the beautiful weather. Hannah was incredibly knowledgeable and made quick work of setting up all of the climbs. We had tons of time to climb, learn from her and enjoy the day. I highly recommend climbing with Hannah and Granite Mountain Guides.

Trip: A Day in the Dells
Guide: Alex T.
Alex was an amazing guide! His knowledge and positive energy made for a successful and memorable day for the whole family. He customized the climbing to suit our different levels of experience and even included a repel at the end of the day which was a new experience for the boys. The gear was all new and top quality - no complaints. Couldn't have asked for a better guide or experience!
