Coronavirus – What Is Happening Now

WE ARE OPEN!

Thank you for your interest in Canyons and Chefs

We want you to know that we have spent countless hours, days, and weeks collecting information and formulating a plan that keeps our employees, community and guests informed, safe and happy!

 

Effective July 7, face coverings are required in Arizona by order of the Governor. Click here to read the Governor’s Order

See the Arizona Coronavirus Page for complete details.

What this means for Canyons and Chefs

We are open and operating our single and multi-day chef-driven experiences, geologic immersion backpacking, and our private chef services

In order to comply with CDC, state, and local guidelines, our services may look a bit different as we begin to operate for the 2020 season.

What this means for your event

We are trying to keep you, our guests, outside and mask-free to the greatest extent possible.
Having final payments made and online waivers signed will eliminate the use of our office and the need to wear masks
We ask you for your understanding and cooperation in helping us meet the state guidelines that allow us to operate!

Masks or face coverings are required in our office and while riding in our shuttles!

*Each participant MUST bring a face mask/face covering.
*Waivers and final payments MUST BE complete prior to arrival.
