Bucket-List Adventures with Purpose
SUAC is a non-profit bringing life-changing adventures to you, while teaching the wonder of Southern Utah’s geology and inspiring care for our landscapes. From cabin retreats and hiking to river adventures, climbing, and scenic flights, we provide the experiences—you bring the spirit.
Explore. Learn. Give Back.
Adventure Runs in the Family
Beginning in 1949 when Grandpa Hendryx explored the hidden corners of Southern Utah — from the rivers under Lake Powell to the arches of Canyonlands.
SUAC continues that legacy.
Learning Through Adventure
Southern Utah is home to some of the most stunning geology in the world. At SUAC, every trip is also a classroom. Our skilled adventurers share their knowledge of the land, teaching participants about geology, ecology, and history as they explore the great outdoors.
We believe that true adventure is not just about what you see—it’s about what you learn, the skills you gain, and the connections you make.
Giving Back Through
