HIKING, BACKPACKING GUIDE COMPANY RECEIVES COMMERCIAL AUTHORIZATION FOR SOUTHERN UTAH TOURS

Just Roughin' It to Provide Secluded Tours of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area

Chandler, Ariz.  [May 28, 2008] - Just Roughin' It Adventure Company, an
Arizona-based provider of customized hiking and backpacking tours,
announced today that it's received commercial authorization to provide
guided tours of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and the Grand
Staircase-Escalante National Monument in Southern Utah.

"We are one of the few professional guide services with access to these
secluded areas," said Debbie Hendricks, co-owner of Just Roughin' It. "It's an
amazing opportunity for outdoor lovers to explore relatively untouched
territories in one of the most picturesque regions of the country."  

Just Roughin' It will guide groups of one to seven people in the Southern Utah
wilderness. Trips can commence from Phoenix or Las Vegas. Previous
outdoors and hiking experience is recommended for those interested in
tackling this terrain.

"Guides are essential in much of the Utah back country because trails aren't
clearly marked or explored," said Hendricks. "Our guides will help you find
jewels in the rough like petroglyphs, slot canyons, rock arches, Indian ruins
and more."

The Grand Staircase gets its name from rugged terraces that surround the
Kaiparowits Plateau. The protected land is carved with remote river canyons
and multi-colored cliffs. Similarly, the Glen Canyon offers outdoor enthusiasts
backpacking opportunities off the beaten path, surrounded by pristine waters
and rare rock formations.

In addition to Southern Utah tours, Just Roughin' It offers guided hikes and

the White Mountains and the Mogollon Rim.

Just Roughin' It trips range from one-day hikes to week-long backpacking
tours. All trips include:

* Roundtrip transportation from designated areas
* Experienced guides
* All meals
* All required permits
* Equipment including tents, stoves, sleeping bags, air mattress, backpacks
