In 1999 Dee Holladay was presented America Outdoors' "Conservation Stewardship" Award. He also received the Utah Rivers Council Headwaters Award. Dee has been a proponent of a new river management plan undertaken by Canyonlands National Park, encouraging the superintendent to take into account various environmental threats to the park's canyons, riverways and backcountry areas.

On Oct 30, 2003, Owners, Dee & Sue Holladay and Tim Gaylord, Operations Director were presented with the Canyonlands National Park Safety Award from Park Ranger Steve Swanke. In making this award Swanke commented "In the past decade your guides have not been directly involved in a personal injury or property damage, This is a significant accomplishment considering the conditions your company routinely operates in."

On March 1, 2008 Dee & Sue Holladay, Tim Gaylord, John Wood and Tammy Jones of Holiday Expeditons were presented with a 10 Year Service Award from the University of Utah Burn Unit for their part in the Burn Camp Programs.
