The Canyons & Chefs Story
Canyons & Chefs was born from a rare blend of passions: the artistry of fine dining, a deep reverence for geology, and a love for wild adventure. Founder Billy Woods, a professional chef and trained geologist, set out to create something new: immersive experiences where every meal is a journey, and every landscape tells a story.
Our mission is to create transformative, meaningful moments that connect people to place, to nature, and to each other. Whether it’s a candlelit dinner on a canyon rim or a fireside feast after a day of exploration, food should be an adventure. It awakens curiosity, celebrates local flavors, and creates lasting memories.
“Everything we do is personalized and driven by seasonal flavors and our deep interest in Southwestern pioneer and indigenous culture.” — Billy Woods, Founder
