Creative. Wholesome. Local. Delicious.

“Cooking is like love: It should be entered into with abandon or not at all…”

Harriet Von Horne

At Team Canyons, our lives revolve around taking our guests on adventures into the wilderness. On the list of the many things we take pride in at Canyons, our menu is near the top! We put a lot of thought and effort into creating a wholesome menu that reflects our values:

Cooking for someone is showing them that you care.

Caring for the environment includes mindful eating.

Local. Organic. Sustainable. Cuisine.

It means everything to us to protect our wild places by engaging in sustainable practices that extend from our leave-no-trace ethics on the river to serving local food on our dinner table. We have taken huge strides in our warehouse commissary to reduce food waste, reduce plastics, and grow anything that we can at our warehouse garden including kale, lettuce, potatoes, and fresh herbs.

When you are on the river with us, we consider you a guest at our table. The cuisine we prepare for you should leave you feeling nourished, content and in good health. Many people have discovered they are managing a food allergy or sensitivity. We pride ourselves on our ability to adapt our delicious menu to your needs. If you have dietary needs or restrictions, we invite you to have a conversation with us several months before your trip launch, so that we can accommodate you in the best way possible.

The proof is in the pudding… check out our menu!
